1869 Society
Named after our year of foundation, the 1869 Society was established in 2017 to create a community of supporters to the OURFC. The aim of the Society is to produce a vital additional stream of regular and dependable funding in order to support our vision for the future, enabling us to plan ahead with certainty and confidence.
How you can help
The 1869 Society aims to ensure that the current players receive the same opportunities afforded to those going back more than 150 years, to enjoy an unrivalled experience both on and off the field whilst representing the Dark Blues. Now more than ever, your commitment in joining this group of valued alumni and supporters can protect the financial viability of the Club and enable us to excel in future seasons, by attracting and developing new players, maintaining our training equipment, and employing the very best coaching and support staff.
