[edit] History
The club was founded in 1913 by former pupils of Pate's Grammar School, where the game of rugby union had been played since 1900, hence the name "Old Patesians". The Old Patesians Association was formed in 1947. The club's motto is taken from Richard Pate's tomb, which is located in nearby Gloucester Cathedral. It reads, Patebit tum quod latuit (Latin) meaning, "What is hidden will be revealed." In January 2006 a Ladies side was created and they are now playing regularly in the Spirit of Game development league.
The club obtained its present home ground at Everest Road in 1975.
