Replacement Tractor following recent break-in

Aim: After a recent break-in where our tractor was stolen, we're now fundraising to help replace this vital piece of equipment.

Who are we?

A grassroots village cricket club, founded in 1920, dedicated to providing opportunities for all ages to learn, play, and enjoy the game of cricket.

Why are we crowdfunding?

Following a recent break-in, our tractor—a Massey Ferguson 1235 Compact with turf tyres—was stolen.  

This tractor was essential for maintaining our 2.5-hectare site. It powered a range of implements used to mow, groom, scarify, and feed the sports turf—work that’s crucial to keeping The Green in top condition.  

The space serves not only the Cricket Club, but also the Football Club, Rounders, and a host of other sporting events for the local community.  

Any donation, large or small, will help us replace this vital equipment and continue to provide a safe, high-quality space for everyone to enjoy.
