00:00Porthcawl RFC has been here at South Lord since 1880. We have over 16 age-grade teams,

00:14over 300 million junior players, two senior adult teams, a women's and a youth team.

00:19For me, Porthcawl RFC is a special rugby club. Why? It has the heartbeat of the community

00:26within the rugby club. What we've said this year after training is that we want to give

00:30something to each team to make sure that the children are well looked after and that goes

00:35from undersettings right through to our senior men's teams, that everyone has a hearty, home-cooked

00:39meal. Volunteers for this club within Porthcawl is the absolute heartbeat of the club. We

00:50have recognised sponsors' days and recognised volunteers' days. It gives us as a club a

00:55chance to give something back. It's just a token of appreciation more than anything

00:59where we invite our volunteers who put the hard grass in, in the cold, wet, windy weather

01:05every week, in the coaching, the training. We all do it for the love of the game. We're

01:09very honoured to be nominated for the award. I just think that's down to a lot of hard

01:14work people have put in behind the scenes within this community club. Our message has

01:18been that we want to be the best we can be on and off the field and how we achieve that

01:22is through our volunteers and through the support of them, helping drive the club forward.
