Investing in Thorner Mexborough Cricket Club
Leeds, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom
Aim
Raising money to invest in our facilities for use by the club and the wider community.
The cricket club has had a great summer, with both adult teams on the verge of promotion, over fifty children enrolling in our all stars and dynamos sessions on Friday evenings, and age group cricket from under 9 to under 15 all being held at the ground. But we have to invest both in order to comply with league rules and to provide the best quality of facilities possible.
The list of investment requirements over the coming years includes:
- repairs to the covers
- sight screens
- refurbishment of the scorers hut and scoreboard
- extension of the tea room to a capacity of 25 people
- improvements to changing facilities to accommodate separate male and female changing and showering areas
- repairs to the outfield mower
- replacement of all mowers over time with more environmentally-friendly and efficient equivalents
- replacing damaged fencing around the perimeter of the ground
- maintenance the car parking area to maintain drainage and remove potholes
- Improvements to outfield drainage
This is all additional to the ongoing and ever increasing costs of maintaining the ground and equipment each year. As a result we are launching a crowdfunding appeal to members, parents, and the wider community. We expect the total we will need to raise to reach into the 10s of thousands, but with a first requirement for £5,000 in order to make a start with the first three items on the list in advance of the 2025 season. We hope that a lot of small contributions can accumulate into something significant and we thank you for your support.
