Save the legacy of Newburgh-on-Ythan Golf Club
Ellon, Aberdeenshire, United Kingdom
Aim: Help continue the legacy of Newburgh-on-Ythan Golf Club that has been ongoing since 1888!
Who are we?
Newburgh-On-Ythan Golf Club has been in existence since 1888 and has been continually developed and improved over the years. Currently a 18 hole course with a 6 hole course attached for beginners, the club has a local and loyal membership who have grown up with the club. The golf club is a big part of the village and the community in Newburgh, as well as the wider golfing community in the North East of Scotland.
Why are we crowdfunding?
After two and a half years of the Covid pandemic and the financial constraints that came with it, combined with the increased cost of energy, equipment and course materials, the club finds itself in a position where current income cannot support the expenditure. We are looking for donations to help stabilise and secure the future of the club and allow us to recruit and promote the club to the wider community, and visitors from the UK and beyond.
How we’ll spend the money raised
In the first instance the money raised will go to ensure that the club can continue to trade for the remainder of the year, is stable and that fixed expenditure can be met. The additional raised will go into significant efforts to recruit new members and attract visitors from the local area, rest of UK and overseas.
Any surplus money left over will act as a buffer to help support the club, allow us to complete vital projects such as irrigation and welfare facilities for staff and to avoid utilising overdraft facilities
