Dear club member/parent/guardian
The cricket club has an ambitious fundraising target for the next three years: we want to raise £50,000 through grants and club activities to support our plans to refurbish the nets in the Lower Goosecroft and create a fund to support the club’s development plan to improve training and playing opportunities for all members.
We know that times are tough for many so we want to provide a range of activities for every club member to get involved in whatever way they can. See our new Fundraising webpage for our planned list of activities.
We’ll also continue to apply for grants and funding to supplement our fundraising activities.
What you can do
Buy a lottery ticket
-
Purchasing a ticket(s) in the West Berkshire Lottery supports the club, as well as providing you with the opportunity to win a weekly prize and special prize draws. All supporters get the chance to win prizes of up to £25,000 for just £1 per week. The club receives 50% of revenue from tickets purchased.
Volunteer your time
-
To help raise the money we need to achieve our plans, we’ll need extra volunteers from time to time to help - just giving what time you can offer. You might support planning an event, running a BBQ one training night, or organising raffle prizes from local businesses.
-
We’re particularly keen to find some volunteers to co-run a pre-loved club clothing and kit shop. We know that juniors often grow out of their kit before it wears out and that new kit can be expensive. A pre-loved kit shop will have the dual benefit of keeping costs low for families as well as raising funds for the club. We’d like to run this on the first junior training evenings later this month. Email purleyonthamescc@hotmail.co.uk to register your interest to help.
Attend an event
-
To make our fundraising events a success, we’ll need people to attend! We don’t expect you to attend every event, but we’d love to see you whenever you can join us. And if you can’t come, you can help promote the event by sharing on social media, telling friends and family or distributing flyers.
Sponsorship
We’d love to hear from you, whatever support you can give. Email purleyonthamescc@hotmail.co.uk to register your interest to help with fundraising or to share your ideas with us.
Kind regards
