Thanks to Emma for sharing this good news from Bembridge. Ed
Bembridge Parish Council has received funding of £9,681 from Awards for All for a new cricket wicket, shock pad and professional installation. Plus a new training wicket, shock pad and professional installation for the new training area on the old Petanque area and training nets.
The current wicket has been in position for over 20 years! The full project cost is £13,462.76.
Further contributions
Contributions have been received £250 from the Cliff Morgan donation, £100 from Terence Willy Solicitors and £150 from a local resident.
Plus £3,000 from Bembridge Parish Council – Steyne Park Project budget. Leaving a small deficit.
Sunday charity match
Bembridge Parish Council is hosting a cricket match vs the Community on Sunday 6th September at 2pm and it’s hoped that selling teas and running a BBQ will raise enough money to cover the small deficit. Everybody is welcome.
The project will then be full steam ahead to ensure all of the new facilities are ready for the new season in April 2016.
