Dear Members,

March 2026

Over the past two years, the Executive and Finance Committees have worked hard to protect members from rising costs. We have absorbed significant increases wherever possible and focused on improving efficiency before considering any changes to pricing. The new deal with St Austell Brewery last year has gone a long way to enabling us to keep prices as low as possible.

However, the reality is that costs continue to rise at a level the club can no longer fully absorb.

We are therefore giving advance notice that bar prices will increase from 1st April. The new pricing structure will be published towards the end of this month.

Why This Is Necessary

1. Supplier and Wholesale Increases
Brewery prices, duty, wine suppliers and general wholesale costs have all risen materially. Inflation means many products cost more simply to allow us to stand still.

2. Utilities
This is a big one for us. Commercial electricity and gas are significantly higher than historical levels. Water too has jumped hugely.

3. Staffing Costs
The National Living Wage increase coming into force this April (close to 10%) has a direct impact on our operating costs and on what it takes to serve members responsibly and professionally.

What We Are Doing

We are not simply passing on costs. The Committee continues to:

• Negotiate supplier terms and monitor market pricing
• Invest in energy efficiency and smarter usage
• Review opening hours and operational models to balance access with sustainability
• Drive new revenue initiatives to strengthen the club’s long-term position

Our responsibility is to ensure Brixham RFC remains financially stable, well-maintained and vibrant — not just for this season, but for the future.

We understand that price increases are never welcome, particularly in the current climate. But protecting the long-term health of the club is essential. Strong clubs are built on sustainable decisions. Rest assured, Brixham RFC will continue to provide some of the cheapest bar prices in Brixham.

We thank you for your continued support and loyalty.

Yours sincerely,

Ken Rudge

Club Treasurer

To all Brixham Rugby Club Members & Supporters, all who were at Astley Park yesterday and also those of you from across the country and wider around the world.

I would like to take a little time to reflect and to say thank you to everyone for all of your fantastic support.

Yesterday was an incredible day for all at Brixham RFC. A very competitive game played and a wonderful demonstration of local Rugby and what the Devon Cup really does mean to clubs that care about this great competition in Devon; this is one of the oldest cup competitions in the country.

I am sure that we would all want to say huge congratulations to JJ, Chairman at Exmouth RFC, the club, their supporters, and especially the team that won the Devon Cup yesterday. You were the better side on the day, and deserved the win.

To our Captain, Jordan Watson, and all the INCREDIBLE Brixham team, ‘Thank You’. We know that you ‘Left Nothing on the Park’ and that you did the club proud. To Adam, Richard, John, Barry, Pete, Dan and all the support team, thank you for all your hard work in preparing the team; once again we are so thankful to each of you.

We would like to thank and acknowledge VX-3, our match sponsors and all other sponsors who supported us so well before and on the day.

On behalf of all those who enjoyed the day, (although maybe not the result), we want to say, how incredible ALL the volunteers are that worked so hard. What you all contributed was absolutely fantastic. I would love to name all of you, but I know I would unintentionally leave some out, so please forgive me, that I don’t. Just to say that at Brixham RFC we are so proud and pleased to have so many volunteers that are prepared to give their own time and support the ‘Fishermen’ at Brixham RFC.

Finally, I want to pay a special tribute to Pete Cox, Bar & Functions Manager, and ALL the bar, cleaning and catering teams that worked so hard and delivered so well to all of us.

Once again a big thank you to YOU.

Chris Forster

Chairman
