Why are we crowdfunding?

We would like to provide less able bodied Members of the Community the opportunity to play outdoor sport and the repairing of the entrance to our Club would be the start of giving better access to our facilities to this group of people who may not be able to take part in outdoor sports. The money raised via this crowd funding campaign will go towards the first of our goals.

We are a self funding Club and the money we receive from Membership fee etc. provides us with the funds to enable the Club to exist. The cost of maintaining the green, the club buildings, insurances and all manner of other items has rising steeply over the past few years so to fund a project such as this we need to ask for help.

How we’ll spend the money raised

Money raised by this crowdfunding campaign will be solely used to finance the cost of the repair to the Club entrance and will enable the Club to move forward in it's attempts to encourage more people to join our Club.

Community impact

Our Membership is strong but has an average age of around 70 to 75. By encouraging more people to join us from within the local community it will benefit new Members to keep active and thereby keeping them fit and healthy.
