Goring Cricket Club Pavilion Bar
Reading, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom
First target reached!
You can help this project to raise more and reach its stretch target.
Aim
We need your help building a permanent bar in Goring cricket pavilion to celebrate the club's 150th anniversary in 2026.
Who are we?
Goring Cricket Club are a local, friendly club open to all ages with a flourishing girls and boys academy.
Why are we crowdfunding
It has been noticed that some senior players and almost all of the parents of the academy players have been looking particularly thirsty during matches and training sessions. The club has decided this must end and have been working hard to build a suitable watering hole for these weary folk.
What have we done so far?
With the help of some very generous local businesses (you know who you are, we offer you our sincerest thanks) and some dedicated committee members we have managed to complete the construction phase of the bar.
How we’ll spend the money raised
However, with limited funds available we now need to make it as sophisticated and comfortable as our players and parents deserve. We plan to kit it out with quality glassware, comfortable seating, mood lighting and only the finest plastic house plants. We also need all the essentials such as bar towels, lemon squeezers, hilarious bar signs, beer mats, optics, beer pumps, etc.

There are two simple ways to help us reach our target, and make this project a reality so we can open in time for the start of the 2026 season.
