The Beijing Devils are one of the most established rugby clubs in China, and we’re fortunate to have had a series of committee members, supporters and sponsors who have dedicated many hours of their time helping us to do what we do best. We can’t put their name in lights outside Tiananmen Square so they’re on the website instead – many thanks to everyone who works behind the scenes for the club.
Founding Members
Many moons ago, the Devils stalwarts listed below put aside their time and money to create a new home for The Devils at Purple Jade Villas. Unfortuantely this home fell victim to some less than honest Beijing planning rules and is no longer. However the club recognises this group as Founding Members and their contribution will always be remembered.
