Hastings & Bexhill RFC, in common with, probably, all junior rugby clubs, cannot function without a lot of hard work from its members whether this is on or off the playing field. We publicly recognise, on large plaques, our current and past Presidents, Chairman, and Club Captains within our Clubhouse. Details of these can also be found by clicking on the relevant items below.
The club has a number of ways that it can recognise the efforts of individuals, both players and non-players, seniors and juniors.
