AROUND £5,000 was raised for Bude Rugby Club at a family fun day on Sunday, September 1, with funds going towards new equipment and plans to revamp and improve the club house and facilities.

Various stalls and entertainment was available at the fun day, including barbecue, bouncy castle, face paint and competitions.

It was the first time for Claire Rackstraw to have helped with the organising of an event for the club, and she is pleased with the turnout.
