the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.				Just to tell you a bit about ourselves. We were established as a charity in 2016.We are a sports club for people with disabilities to play
				wheelchair rugby.
				Wheelchair Rugby combines elements of
				basketball, rugby, and ice hockey. Players
				compete in teams offour to carry a ball across
				the opposing team's goal line. Contact between
				wheelchairs is permitted and is in fact an integral
				part ofthe sport as players use their chairs to
				block and hold opponents. Wheelchair rugby
				players compete in manual wheelchairs
				specifically designed for the sport, Wheelchair
				Rugby is a Paralympic sport, with over twenty	-six
				countries competing in international
				competition. Great Britain managed to secure	the
				gold medal in the last Paralympics.
				To be eligible to play Wheelchair Rugby
				(Paraiympic) individuals must have a disability
				which affects the arms and legs. Most players
				have spinal cord injuries with full or partial

						paralysis ofthe legs and partial paralysis ofthe
						arms. Other disability groups who play include
						cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, amputations,
						polio, and other neurological conditions. Men
						and women compete on the same teams and in
						the same competitions. Players are assigned a
						sport classification based on their level of
						disability; teams must field 4 players (Paralympic)
						or 5 players (WR5'S) with a mixture of
						Classification values, this allows players with
						different functional abilities to compete together.
						WR5's is a much newer version ofthe sport and
						allows people with a much wider range of
						disabilities to compete.
						RGC currently are competing in Division 2 ofthe
						National league. After a clean sweep in last
						weekend's Super Series, we are now leading the
						league table.
						Anyone is welcome to join our club, male,
						female, adult, or child. The sport can be played
						by the disabled or non-disabled as a means of
						keeping fit.
