Something new is coming to the clubhouse — and we will be the only venue in Crawley with it

We are not saying this to build anticipation. We are saying it because it is true and we could not keep it to ourselves any longer.

Interactive darts boards are coming to the Crawley RFC clubhouse. The boards have been delivered. Installation is being sorted. And when they go live, we are going to be the only venue in Crawley with them.

If you have not come across interactive darts yet, it is what happens when you take darts — already one of the best social games going — and give it a proper software brain. Every throw is automatically tracked and scored. You can play any number of traditional darts formats, but also game modes that are genuinely good fun for people who have never played a competitive game in their lives. Teams, tournaments, head-to-head, all built in. You do not need to know how to score a leg of 501 because it does it for you.

The booking system will be live soon and we will announce it properly when everything is ready. If you are a member and you want to be among the first to know when bookings open, drop your name and email with the bar staff.

This is what we mean when we say the RFC is more than just a rugby club. The pitch matters. The clubhouse matters too. Come for the darts, stay for the people.
