Club Development Fund
The club development fund has been established to build a base of funding to ensure our great clubs future. Initially launched as the "Buy a brick campaign", which had the aim of replacing the existing clubhouse with a new facility.
Whilst clubhouse development is still one of the main aims of the fund, the scope has been widened to be a fund to develop our club for the future through building development, but also over strategic projects to ensure that the club continues to exist for another 126 years.
Donations to the fund are always welcome and if you are able to donate please contact the Treasurer.
Donors to this fund will be gratefully acknowledged on this website.
