Mow Money Please

Aim

We need your help to raise enough money to purchase a new mower so we can maintain our bowling green

Who are we?

We're a friendly, welcoming and diverse group brought together by our love for crown green bowls. We care deeply about Meanwood and want to encourage fellow Meanwoodlions to be part of what we do. 

Why are we crowdfunding?

After a number of cutbacks from the council, we have accepted an opportunity to take responsibility for the maintenance of the bowling green. The funds would be used to purchase equipment essential for maintenance of the green. Proper maintenance of the green is essential for running the club and financial support will avoid equipment costs being absorbed into membership and help continue making the sport we love, accessible for our community

How we’ll spend the money raised

This project is purely built on the cost of a new mower with cassettes required to continue maintaining the bowling green. The equipment required is as follows;

Dennis FT510 Mower
10 bladed cylinder
2mm scarifier
2mm scarifier tungsten tipped
Sorrell roller cassette

Included in the Sale Price:

2 Years Manufacturer’s Warranty
Delivery
On-Site BAGMA Installation Training for operators

Community impact

We urgently need your support to purchase equipment which will allow us to cut, aerate and scarify the grass. Having a well maintained bowling green and playing surface, will encourage existing members to continue playing this sport, keep active and spread the word that Meanwood Park Bowling Club is not just a bowls club, its a community that people from all walks of life enjoy coming to and playing this sport whether its socially or competitively.
