Why are we crowdfunding?

The Club has been steadily rebuilding in the last few years, despite the interruptions of Covid. We are now at a point where we need to upgrade our facilities - notably the pitch covers - to maintain the progress and keep expanding participation in the sport.

If you're applying for extra funding, this is a good place to demonstrate why your project is eligible so refer back to the criteria to help complete this section

We are an open and diverse Community club that have been Club Mark accredited for at least the last 12 years, and possibly longer

We have an elected management committee drawn from the members and annual elections of officers.

We meet regularly (every quarter) and are in constant touch by e mail. 

There are regular communication with members and their views are regularly sought to shape the club progress. 

Our members come from all walks of life, colour, creed and origin. We offer cricket from age 5 through the All Stars Cricket scheme, throughtout the junior age groups into senior cricket, and have an occasional Masters team for those who want to play into their 60s and 70s.

How we’ll spend the money raised

We need to buy 4 new pitch cover units, and refurbish the old ones for use on our 2nd square.

The new ones will cost £ 5,000 each (£ 20,000 in all) and it will cost us £ 2,000 plus elbow grease to refurbish our old ones.

This will allow us to stage more matches

Community impact

It’s important to explain the wider impact of your organisation for the whole community, who does it benefit and why? Perhaps your facilities are used for other purposes outside of sport too?
