Help us reach back to 1966.
The 60th year deserves the full 60-year story — not just the last seven. Every photo, every team sheet, every old newsletter you have closes a gap that we can't close any other way.
Rugby Xplorer holds records back to 2019. Anything older has to come from people like you.
We've already recovered career milestones for Oliver Benstead back to 2002 from one historical file donated by a past registrar. With your help we'll surface dozens more stories like that — members who played for 15 seasons and whose journey the system doesn't yet know.
We know the gap exists. We don't know what's in it. You do.
Three concrete destinations for what you share.
Digital honour boards
Photos go onto the milestone boards — the same names as the physical boards in the clubhouse, now searchable and linkable.
Member journey timelines
Player names from old team sheets fill in their /journey arc — and their kids' family-tree-of-rugby story.
The 60-year story
Newsletters, clippings, and photos become part of /sixty and /history — the long-form story of the club.
If you can take two minutes, it saves us hours. If you can't, just send everything anyway.
If you can tell us "these are photos from the 1990s" before uploading, we route them straight to the right team. If you can't — drag the whole folder and we'll figure it out.
Anything is better than the material sitting in a drawer.
Six types of material that make a real difference.
Team photos
(any decade)
Old registrar spreadsheets & paper rolls
Match programs & fixture lists
Newspaper clippings (digital or scanned)
Newsletters, Welcome Packs, annual reports
Photos of trophies, awards, or honour boards
Not sure? Send it anyway — we'll work it out.
