Temporary Closure of Old Ruts
You will no doubt have seen the government’s latest advice on avoiding bars and clubs and reducing all non-essential social gatherings and contact.
In light of this the Executive Committee have decided they have no choice but to close the Club with immediate effect until at least April 14th 2020 – 4 weeks. This decision will be kept under constant review and has not been taken lightly. We are very aware that this will have a financial impact on our part-time casual staff and on the well-being of our active membership.
This means that all Club events, sport and training during this time are cancelled. This includes:
- March 21st – Street Vybes
- April 3rd – Cheese & Wine evening
- April 4th – Comedy Night
Any money paid for these events will be refunded in due course. Please do not contact us about refunds, we will be in touch shortly.Continue reading “Temporary Closure of Old Ruts”
Preventing the spread of COVID-19
Old Ruts is still open for business and sport is still being played at the Club. We are following Public Health England advice to try and prevent the spread of COVID-19. The full advice can be found here.

To become a member of Old Ruts a membership is needed for every adult player and/or parent and a subscription must be purchased for any sport that is played. This structure remains unchanged.
After careful consideration the ORA Executive have decided to increase adult and parent memberships by £10 a year from the point a membership is renewed.
