Call to Arms is an organisation dedicated to enabling its members to influence the running of Cardiff RFC Ltd for the benefit of the wider community. The organisation represents the view of supporters, by pooling their efforts and resources.

The group has five major objectives.

• To strengthen the bond between Cardiff Rugby Club and the community.
• To enable the views and interests of supporters to influence the running of our club through acquisition of shares and voting rights.
• To empower and unite supporters in a proactive body with real influence.
• To further the game of rugby union in the community.
• To promote coaching schemes for young people.

Many of you will be familiar with the work of C2A, the volunteer organisation have successfully completed numerous projects in and around the Cardiff Arms Park stadium, including;

• New seating in 2005, old chairs replaced by new blue ones, and white one to spell out ‘Cardiff' and ‘Blues' on opposing stands.
• Providing training kit for the premiership side.
• The refurbishment of toilet facilities under the stands
• Getting video equipment for he premiership side
• And most recently, the refurbishment of the disabled facilities in the east part of the ground.

However, after a recent meeting of fans at the Arms Park, the group has assigned themselves 5 new targets.

1. We will support all iniatives that aim to take Cardiff Rugby Football Club Ltd and the teams run by the company to the top level of club competition in Europe. 
2. We want to see both Cardiff teams playing at Cardiff Arms Park.
3. We believe that both teams should remain under the full control of the full board of Cardiff RFC Ltd
4. Cardiff Blues are the first XV of Cardiff RFC Ltd
5. Call to Arms will campaign for representation on the board of Cardiff Rugby Football Club Ltd.

These have been highlighted by fans and members alike, as the 5 big issues that are holding the club and region back from progressing, and reaching their full potential.

Now, Call To Arms is asking you to get behind them, and help in making our voice as supporters heard where it really matters.

Many users from this site have already voiced concern over a potential ground swap to Leckwith and a share with Cardiff City FC, or at least the lack of information we're receiving from our board. If C2A succeed in their new goals, these kind of decisions will never be able to be made without us having our say again.

I urge all of you to take a look at their new web site, which has more on the history and future of the organisation at http://www.calltoarms.co.uk/

Also, if you'd like to know the latest from C2A, how they're getting on and if you can get involved, you can subscribe to their newsletter, simply e-mail your request to info@calltoarms.co.uk and again, I would urge you all to do so!
