We have
had some considerable financial support over the last 3 years from a
number of funding partners &
sponsorsbut
as we now move into the final stages of the new ground project we
are asking for your help in securing the final moniesrequired to start the pavilion build.
We are
asking our members, supporters, companies, local businesses
etc to sponsor a brick for our ‘Wall of Support’. The wall
will feature in a prominent position in the new pavilion.
You are free to have
wording of your choice (subject to the clubs approval) on
your brick & you are not restricted to having just one
brick.
Each brick
costs a minimum of £50 but you may donate more if
you wish.
We really hope that you’ll be able to support the
club in the final stages of our project.
Every pound we can raise now will help us provide a
top-class sporting facility.
Application forms are
available from Kev Bennett, Charlie Scott, Dick
Reeve or Neil Wedge. More
