The Club used to play at the 'Lammas' recreation ground in Staines-upon-Thames but relocated to its own ground The Reeves in Hanworth (London Borough of Hounslow) in the 1960s but still proudly bears the name of the town.
The Club runs a number of senior men's and women's teams with names such as "the Swans" and "the Cobs", and were one of the first in the county to have a Mini and Youth section now offering rugby for children aged 4 to 17.
A notable former mini player was British and Irish Lions Lawrence Dallaglio who started his career at eight.[1]
