How to Join or Get Involved with Huddersfield Rugby Union Football Club

Huddersfield RUFC offers several ways to get involved: club membership, playing rugby at senior or age-grade level, volunteering, and supporting the club through its fundraising schemes. The club's website lists a dedicated Memberships page, and general enquiries can be directed to the club office at Lockwood Park (open 9.30am–2.30pm, Monday to Friday) by phone on 07842409064 or by email at [email protected]. The site does not publish membership prices or an online sign-up form in the available content, so the practical first step is to contact the office or check the Memberships page for current details.

Membership and general enquiries

The club's main navigation includes a Memberships section alongside Contact Us and How to find us. The site lists the following contact route:

• Address: Brewery Drive, Lockwood Park, Huddersfield, HD4 6EN
• Phone: 07842409064
• Email: [email protected]
• Office hours: 9.30am to 2.30pm, Monday to Friday

If you want to join as a social or supporting member, use these details to ask about current membership categories and how to apply. Because pricing and payment methods are not shown on the site, treat any figures you see elsewhere as unconfirmed until the club confirms them.

Ways to get involved

Playing rugby

The site lists a full range of playing opportunities, so you can approach the section that matches your level:

Fixtures for these teams are published on the site, so you can watch a match first and speak to people at the club before committing. For age-grade entry, the site has a dedicated Welcome to Age Grade section and references an Age Grade Festival 2027.

Volunteering

The navigation includes a Volunteering @ HRUFC page, which is the direct route for anyone wanting to help run or support the club without playing. The site also references a Mental Fitness section and a Wooden Spoon charity link, which may indicate additional community or charitable involvement worth asking about.

Fundraising and supporter schemes

Two supporter schemes are listed on the site:

• 200 Club — with its own page
• 25 2 50 Club — with a "Join Here" page and a "Past Winners" page

These are the clearest online entry points for supporters who want to contribute financially. The "Join Here" page is the place to start for the 25 2 50 Club; for the 200 Club, use the linked page or contact the office.

Venue and facilities

If your interest is in using the club rather than joining it, the site lists Book the Venue, Facilities Hire (including The Waterloo Suite and 3G Pitch Hire), and Office Rentals. These are separate from membership and are handled through the venue booking route.

A practical sequence

1. Decide your route: playing (senior or age grade), volunteering, membership, or a supporter scheme.
2. Check the relevant page on the site — Memberships, Volunteering @ HRUFC, Age Grade Rugby, or 25 2 50 Club – Join Here.
3. If the page doesn't answer your question (for example, on cost or start dates), contact the office by phone or email during opening hours.
4. For playing enquiries, check the Fixtures listings and come down to Lockwood Park to watch a match and introduce yourself.

Common sticking points

• No published prices: the available site content shows no membership fees or payment platforms, so don't assume a cost or a free entry — confirm with the office.
• Office hours are limited: the office is open 9.30am–2.30pm on weekdays only, so plan calls accordingly; email may be more reliable outside those hours.
• Match times can change: the club's news section shows fixtures being rescheduled (for example, a Falcons match moved to a 3pm kick-off), so check the latest news before travelling.
