'Welcome to Rugby' signs like this one, featuring a rugby ball and rugby posts, are sited on all the main roads approaching the town. The design has the strapline 'The Birthplace of the Game' and also mentions Rugby's twin towns - Evreux in France and Russelsheim in Germany. In the background a different sport is being played at Rugby Golf Club.
