ARCC pavilion update

Anyone walking down the Moor’s Path to Kingston Blount this week will have seen that work has started on the pavilion on our bottom pitch. The building will be erected the first week in April and finished in May. Can we direct parishioners to the crowdfunding page that we are using to help us pay for the building that will be used by both our junior teams and senior teams.

This crowdfunding page has just eight days to run (closing date March 28^th) and so far, we have managed to raise £9,480 with £1,800 of Gift Aid. 38 supporters have made pledges since the page was launched back in February and we’d like to thank every single one of you.

It’s particularly great to see some local residents – some of whom aren’t even club members – donating to the project. In hindsight the £25,000 target may have been a little optimistic but we would have hoped we’d be able to get at least close to £15,000 in total.

Chris Hutton and Jamie Revill have been busy working on the foundations this week. Although they are volunteering their time to carry out the work for free, the club is going to need to start paying for materials soon. We would massively appreciate it if you could dig deep over the next eight days and see if we can raise that £15,000.
