FACILITIES at Malvern Rugby Club's Spring Lane base were boosted last Saturday with the official opening of a new patio area outside the clubhouse.

Fundraising by the ladies committee had raised around £2,500 and the ladies were given a free rein to spend it how they wished.

The committee decided to have a patio area laid and introduced new tables and chairs so spectators could look out over the pitches and enjoy a drink at the same time.
