RTB Ebbw Vale Bowls Club are based within Eugene Cross Park, Ebbw Vale . The club has 78 years of history, more recently includes a move of current home in Eugene Cross Park, Ebbw Vale in 2010 from the old Steelworks site
Over the last 3 years we have increased the participation of bowls within our club, with our membership growing by 30% to over 60 active playing members plus a number of social members.
Our club has been active in attracting new members by running a number of open days, junior coaching sessions along with being active using social media accounts.
RTB Ebbw Vale Bowls Club now operates 12 months a year to ensure we are sustainable, We have introduced a winter pool team, regular community group meetings but this comes with more wear and tear of our facilities which are now over 15 years old and the need to improve some things to keep our standards high.
Sadly in late 2023 we had a flood within the building, our main function room and toilets hallway were flooded
Although we acted promptly and got a professional carpet cleaning company to try and save the carpet, the flood has caused lasting damage to the carpet and now needs to be replaced.
As part of our plans to improve our facilities we are looking to crowdfund for the following works within our clubhouse improvements.
• Re painting of all Internal Walls in our function room and toilet corridor
• Replace the previously damaged flooring with new Carpet in our Function room and the toilet corridor flooring.
• Recover our Bench Seating to match our Chairs.
• Replace our internal blinds on our windows to help with security and privacy.
• Upgrade our lighting to LED to be more cost effective
• Improve our kitchen facilities by purchasing a new Cooker and Fridge Freezer.
How will our project benefit our members and the wider community?
By completing the planned improvements, We would be able to provide a high quality facility for our members and the local community. We already have numerous community groups using the clubhouse and the kitchen and clubhouse improvements we can continue to provide a modern standard facility.
We want to become more energy efficient to help our long term sustainability and by upgrading our lights to LEDs as part of the improvements will help with this.
Improving our kitchen with a new cooker and fridge freezer would allow us to cost saving on matchday food to help towards our long term sustainability.
We would be very grateful if you would help us reach our goal to complete all of the above works to allow us to provide great facilities for our members and the local community.
Thank You
