Training takes place at the club’s home, Albert Field in Lansdown, at 7pm. Newcomers are welcome. Sessions got under way on Tuesday 8th July.
Last season, the Wal’s 1st XV finished in fourth place in the Level 7 division.
Walcot still face the long trip to the edge of Purbeck to take on Swanage & Wareham at Bestwall, Wareham, in 2025-26.
But Dorchester – another of the Dorset sides – have been relegated.
And there will be some more relatively local fixtures for the Wal during the new term.
Trowbridge 2nd XV have moved into the division for 2025-26, meaning two more derby games. Walcot will come up against Corsham, Chippenham 2nd XV, Melksham and Frome again.
The Wal will open their campaign at home to Marlborough 2nd XV on Saturday 6th September.
