Pershore CC - Bouncing Back for our 150th Year

Aim

We have a number of small developments planned to improve our facilities and cricket provision for all juniors, seniors and supporters.

Who we are & The effects of COVID

As a community cricket club we rely heavily on our annual fundraisers, memberships and sponsors to help the club develop, progress and due to the current pandemic survive. These include organising and running sports quizzes, race nights, and summer parties. Sadly, these large fundraisers have had to be cancelled this year due to Covid, leaving the club massively out of pocket. We are attempting the Crowdfunder in order to replace this lost income and to help with the development plans which will benefit all junior and senior players and our local supporters.

Money raised from this will help the club maintain and develop our facilities in order to keep offering the highest standards of cricket provisions in our local community. Not only are we looking to do all of this to improve our cricket provision we also want to complete this develops in our 150th year as a cricket club which will be a wonderful way to celebrate our birthday. 

We intend to celebrate our 150th birthday by:

*Constructing/ redeveloping practice/ netting facilities for our juniors and local schools on our excising old site.

*Building a secure permanent structure for our scoreboard

*Developing an outdoor social area for spectators, families and friends

*Purchasing benches and seating for players and spectators

Project 1 - Constructing and Redeveloping practices and netting facilities

The construction/ redevelopment of our old netting area at the fair end of the grounds, will provide our growing junior, women and men's sections increase opportunities to practice and improve. In addition with the increase facilities we will be able to support our local schools in cricket practice, providing more young boys and girls with the opportunity to take part in physical activity and learning more about cricket.
We will develop this areas into two fully functioning practices facilities.

Project 2 - Building a secure permanent structure for our scoreboard

We are looking to build a secure permanent structure for our electronic scoreboard. This will improve the look of the ground, but also support the enjoyment level of spectators and players who will have greater viewing experience. This will also ensure our scoreboard will remain safe and fully functioning for many seasons to come.

Here is an example of what we hope to achieve by building permanent structure for our scoreboard

Project 3 - Developing an outdoor social area for spectators, families and friends & Purchasing benches and seating for players and spectators

Once we have been able to develop an outdoor social area and repaired and replaced many damaged benches we intent to start a prevent loneliness campaign for for the Pershore community. Offering a place for those that feel alone or isolated a safe, fun and social environment to watch cricket and meet new people. The funds will support the promotion and advertising of this system which we believe will be a huge benefit to many of the the local Pershore Communities.

We will turn this area into a patio areas of beauty.

These longer term developments and investments will enable us to improve the quality of our cricket facility, as well as supporting the development of our cricket provision for members, schools and the local community.
