Telonic Instruments sponsors Reading Rugby Club youth team

Reading Rugby Club was formed in 1898 when three senior officials from the RFU met in Pangbourne. From this inauspicious start the Berkshire Wanderers club was formed. This club continued to thrive and, shortly before the Second World War, purchased some land at Holme Park, Sonning and pitches were laid out. After the war a new stand was erected. In 1956 the club changed its name to the Reading Rugby Club in order to keep the town name after the founding of another local club, which subsequently became the Abbey Rugby Club.

Reading Rugby Club continues to expand and now includes two ladies teams. In 2013 it was decided to form another team to find and train male players between 17 and 19 for the first XV. This is part of the club's structured progression.

Doug Lovell, Telonic's sales and marketing director, comments: "A member of our long-standing staff is a player who has migrated successfully to the senior team from CODE. Our policy is to support young people who are interested in sport. We can do this by supplying the full clothing kit and will continue to support them for the foreseeable future."
