Senior Team Veo Camera Fundraising 10k Run
We, the dedicated Croydon Wanderers RFC Senior Team, are embarking on a 10km fundraising run from Wandle Park in Central Croydon to our home ground on the Surrey-Kent border.
Our mission? To raise funds for a Veo Camera system that will be a game-changer for the entire team and coaching staff, enabling us to review and learn from our mistakes—and triumphs!— after each game.
Our route is not just a run, it's a journey through history. We'll pass the birthplace of Shirley Wanderers, the esteemed parent club that gave birth to Croydon RFC. This historical journey ends with a well-deserved beer at the bar, where we'll come together to watch England play Australia!
Join us for a run or a celebratory beer on November 1st.
Donate today via our dedicated GoFundMe page. Thank you for your support.
