Since the early days of 7 Bamboos Rugby, there always has been a close link to the German Rugby Board (DRV). When the Bamboos entered their very first tournament in 2013, the National Pub Sevens in Harpenden, the German national 7s side also played at the same tournament, which opened an opportunity for the young Bamboos team to run a joined training session and a social event, a day before the tournament. 

7 Bamboos RFC, the first-ever GRFU-affiliated rugby sevens club, have formed a new and exciting partnership with National 2 South Club Dings Crusaders.

From the 18^th April onwards, the Bamboos women’s and men’s teams will run their weekly training sessions at Dings’ state-of-the-art training and playing facilities Shaftesbury Park in Frenchay just minutes away from junction 1 of the M32. 

The only GRFU-affiliated 7s club in the county of Gloucestershire, 7 Bamboos RFC, has joined forces with Wooden Spoon, one of the biggest children's charity in the country.  

Wooden Spoon is a charity that changes children’s lives through the power of rugby. Each year they fund around 70 projects, from community programmes and specialist playgrounds to medical treatment centres and sensory rooms. Since 1983, Wooden Spoon has distributed over £26 million to more than 700 projects, helping more than a million children.

7 Bamboos Rugby is delighted to announce another valuable partnership for this season since Bristol-based Gulliver’s Truck Hire has become the official transport and logistics partner. Gulliver's is the premier nationwide vehicle hire company in the UK, specialising in both general and municipal vehicles.  

Thanks to the corporation the Bamboos will be able to travel to events and tournaments with a van from Gulliver’s impressive fleet which extends to  6,000 late registration vehicles, ranging from small vans through to  44t tractor units. Each size is available in a variety of body styles - box, curtain, drop side, refrigerated - whatever you require.

Gulliver’s is a family-run business established by Mr Gabe Harding over 55 years ago. Three generations now work within the business as Gabe is supported by his sons and grandson, Philippe Harding the Managing Director, Nic Harding a Director and Oli Harding, Bristol’s Depot Manager.

The business was created when Gabe - who comes from a family of renowned butchers - had his own butchers shop based in Bedminster, Bristol. When one of his largest customers mentioned they were off on holiday and wouldn’t require their order the following week, Gabe questioned where they were going and then how they would get there. It transpired the customer was renting a car and having heard the price, Gabe thought to himself, “I could do that”.

Over the weekend Gabe’s family car was sold, two Ford Anglia were purchased and an additional phone line was installed to take calls for his new car hire business.  Rental prices started at just 17 shillings and 6 pence for an evening hire and £1 and 15 shillings for the day.

Gulliver’s has gone from strength to strength over the past 55 years, developing to specialise in the hire of both general and municipal vehicles and now has a nationwide fleet of 6,000 and a product range of over 80 various vehicle types and sizes.
