People could enjoy refreshments from the barbecue and the other tasty treats included home bakes and ice cream.

The event was held during the Royal Bank of Scotland RugbyForce weekend.

Now in its 14th year it helps more than 75 per cent of clubs in Scotland via practical and financial assistance to help clubs; improve their facilities, attract new members, and make rugby clubs more than just a place to play rugby.

Clubs across the country hosted a range of pre-season events, such as community fun days, youth rugby coaching and rugby sevens tournaments, raising awareness of the positive impact that Scotland’s grassroots clubs have within their local communities.

Also as part of the initiative RBS launched a Young Ambassador programme, for ambitious 18-35-year-olds across the country to become the next generation of leaders at their rugby clubs.

In partnership with Scottish Rugby, the Royal Bank is empowering under 35-year-olds to take on responsible committee positions, taking part in executive decisions at their clubs, with relevant sponsorship, finance, social media training to help enrich the future of their clubs.
