Applicants under 16 years of age can join the Trust as junior members. Unlike full membership, junior membership does not entitle the member to a vote at the Trust’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) as well as other Trust member meetings or ballots.
It is recommended that for junior applicants the form should be completed under the supervision of a parent or guardian and that where appropriate the parent/guardian should sign the form on behalf of the applicant. In all cases, the parent/guardian of the applicant is required to add their contact name and address details to the appropriate section of the application form.
Junior membership costs £5.

The completed forms should be returned to the Trust by handing it to an officer of the Trust at the Trust table or alternatively, by sending the completed form(s) to:-
The Treasurer, Friends of Newport Rugby Trust Fund, c/o Newport Rugby Football Club Ltd., Rodney Road, Newport, NP19 0UU.
Please note that you should also include your payment for the annual subscription fee.
Payments can be made by:-
cash cheque (payable to ‘Friends of Newport Rugby Trust’) standing order (by completing the standing order slip at the bottom of the application form or alternatively using a Subscription Standing Order Form (Form S) which can be obtained from the Trust table on match days or downloaded from this website).
Existing members and new applicants are reminded that in addition to the basic membership of the Trust we also offer the facility for members to make regular donations to the fund on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis via standing order payments from their bank account. Existing members or new applicants who are interested in taking advantage of this facility should complete a Donation Standing Order Mandate (Form D) and return it to the Trust as previously described.
The Trust also provides Corporate Membership for businesses that wish to participate in and become members of the Trust Fund. For more information, please click here.
In order to gain a voice the trust needs funds, in order to raise these funds we need your help. Please consider giving a regular donation by standing order to the trust. If members make regular monthly donations of £1 or more (whole pounds) in addition to their annual trust membership fee, the fund available to the trust would dramatically increase.
The more members the trust has the more of a voice it will have. So please encourage your friends and family and anybody else who has an interest in seeing Newport Rugby to continue to exist at the highest level possible to get involved.
The trust is run entirely by volunteers. The more people that are prepared to volunteer their time to help organise fundraising or advertising the more the trust can grow and the more the trust grows the bigger its influence. Even companies can volunteer services.
