Reading, Berkshire ~ Sports
Rugby Club

About us:

Redingensians RFC was the first rugby club in Berkshire to be awarded the RFU Seal of Approval, reflecting the club’s commitment to community sport and sport for all. In addition, the club has won several awards for its work in the community, and it is Wokingham Borough Council’s partner rugby club.

However, this friendly ethos has not prevented the club from being very successful. It is the only club in the county running five adult teams, and the youth section is the biggest and most successful in the area.

The first team will play in South West 1 next season, with the second and third team also playing in the RFU league structure. The fourth and fifth team both play in the Thames Valley leagues. Under 13s to Under 16s compete in the Berkshire Youth leagues, and the U17s and Colts play in the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire leagues, and thence into the National Knockout competition.

Children in school years 1 - 7 train and play on Sunday mornings starting at 10.00. Those in school years 8 - 13 train on either Tuesday or Thursday evenings starting at 19.00, and play matches on Sunday mornings or afternoons.

Reading ~ Music
Opera at Bearwood

About us:

Opera at Bearwood was created to bring the grand opera experience to Reading, Wokingham and central Berkshire. The group wish to communicate their love of this unique medium to an increasingly aware audience by mainly singing in English so as people can understand the plot.

Formed in Spring 1993, the company’s summer productions of Mozart’s ‘The Marriage of Figaro’, Bizet’s ‘Carmen’, Mozart’s ‘Don Giovanni’, Verdi’s ‘La Traviata’, Puccini’s ‘La Bohème’, Verdi’s ‘Rigoletto’, Rossini’s ‘The Barber of Seville’, Puccini’s ‘Madam Butterfly’, Gounod’s ‘Faust’, Bizet’s ‘Carmen’, Verdi’s ‘Il Trovatore’, Mozart’s ‘The Magic Flute’ and Smetana’s ‘The Bartered Bride’, have all been acclaimed by both Press and public alike for their quality and professionalism.

A unique feature is the Group’s policy to cast their productions from within the membership wherever possible, provided they can meet the high standards required.

We perform and rehearse at the superb Bearwood Theatre, situated in the lovely grounds of Bearwood College at Winnersh, east of Reading, Berkshire. England. Our productions take advantage of this by presenting a ‘mini-Glyndebourne’ with an invitation to picnic prior to the opera.

If you are interested in hearing more, or in joining us in our operatic adventure either as a producer, patron, backstage staff, technician, or an enthusiastic pair of hands, do come along and meet us at our Tuesday evening rehearsals at the Bearwood Theatre from 7.45-10 pm.
