The Castaway Wanderers have established a new fund with the Canadian Rugby Foundation to help raise money for a new clubhouse adjacent to their current playing field at Windsor Park in the Oak Bay area of Victoria, BC. The building on the right photo is the Oak Bay Community Centre used as the club’s locker and meeting rooms
Named the CWRFC Coming Home Capital Fund, this signals a move of the existing clubhouse from downtown Victoria to Windsor Park (thus the “Coming Home”) and will serve as a vehicle for donors to the project (purchase of property, relocation of a house to accommodate the clubhouse, and renovations to the house) to make a contribution and simultaneously receiving a charitable tax receipt through the Foundation.
The property is across from the tennis courts at Windsor Park as shown here. The house shown below is the one being considered moving on to the property we will purchase. It has been photoshopped onto the property to give a sense of how our new home will fit.
IMAGINE THIS:
- The history of your club and its players creating your club place adjacent to your
playing field - Celebrating a victory with YOUR team in YOUR clubhouse whether 14 or 35 years old
- Gathering parents and their CWRFC children for a social evening
- CW teams hosting supporters, visitors and guests in THEIR clubhouse right after the game
- Deepening the unique social side of rugby into our CWRFC culture for families, players, alumni and supporters
- Imagine, COMING HOME to where it all began in 1912!
