The Rugby Town Supporter's Club Car Boot has been running for the past six years and has been a very successful venture ran entirely by volunteers Digby and Jean Berry, Mick Bird and Tom Crinigan.

The event which is held 28 times per year takes place in the car park on Sunday mornings from 0700 - 1200.

This year the Valley Volunteers have raised £3,000 for the Vice Presidents which will be used for an array of services essential to the running of the club.

Having raised and handed over £17,000 over the last three years this £3,000 takes the total raised and handed over to £20,000. A truly remarkable feat for such a small group.

Digby Berry used to play for the club in the late 50’s and is credited with scoring an incredible 6 goals in one game against AEI Apprentices. Digby is a retired postman and is a popular character around the ground. He also calls the bingo on a Friday night in the VS Bar. Jean, his wife, is a retired careworker and sells the teas and rolls from the club outlet on Car Boot days. Jean is a daughter of Charlie and Ethel Dandridge who were both keen supporters in the clubs heyday and the family regulary attended the function nights that occured at the time.

Mick Bird is a dedicated hard working supporter who is assisting with the car boot this year. He runs the club’s prediction league and last season he, his wife, and Martin Defferd raised over £600 for a sponsored walk around pitch perimeter.

The cheque was presented prior to the Leamington game in front of the main stand. The efforts of these hard working supporters is very much appreciated.
