The Club

Nuneaton Old Edwardians was founded on the 18th February, 1910, initially to provide rugby football for the Old Boys of King Edward VI Grammar School.

About King Edward VI Grammar School

The club went 'open' in 1955 welcoming players from all backgrounds and walks of life. The Grammar School closed in 1974 and is now a sixth form college. Currently the club regularly runs three sides on Saturday afternoons.

The First XV of the club is at present playing in the Midlands 1 East League. Players and committee alike are dedicated to improving the league status of the club by attracting new players to the club and improving the skills of existing players. Players train twice a week under the guidance of a fully qualified coach who has experience at the highest levels of the game.

Over the 100 odd years of the club's existence it has gained a reputation for friendliness off the field whilst retaining a healthy competitiveness on it. The club has been careful never to allow players to overstep the bounds of reasonable behaviour and for this reason the club enjoys an enviable reputation within Warwickshire. The Warwickshire Referees Society has awarded the club the 'Whistler' trophy 3 times in recent years. This trophy is presented to the club which, in the opinion of visiting referees, is the most pleasant to visit and referee.

The clubhouse at Nuneaton Old Edwardians offers a wide range of facilities to prospective users. Together with a well stocked bar having a wide range of beers, wines and spirits, there is a fully equipped kitchen and food preparation area. The pleasantly decorated, well furnished lounge can be separated from the large sprung dance-floor by means of sliding partitions. This gives the room the flexibility to be used as one large area for a variety of entertainment venues, presentations, company functions or meetings for up to one hundred and fifty people, or to be partitioned into two smaller rooms for more intimate gatherings. The lounge is furnished with a large screen TV projection system which can also be used for video screening or PC based presentations. The many acres of playing fields which surround the clubhouse make it an ideal summer venue for outdoor events. A marquee can be erected on the playing area to accommodate large parties. There is a large car park adjacent to the clubhouse.
