Battyeford Sporting Club flood relief fund

As many of you may have seen on the local news and on social media our club house has been flooded as the river levels rose over 3.0m in 4 hours in the early hours of New Years Day.

This as you can imagine has caused a lot of damage inside the clubhouse which will take it out of action for our 37 teams, teams of all ages from under 5's all the way up to under 18's.

We are grateful for the immediate help we received the day after the event to clean up the car park and shovel out the dirt and debris from the clubhouse, and in the short term we might be back open again, but we need help to bring the club back up to a good standard for the kids that play in our teams.

We are hoping to raise enough money to be able to repair and replace the damaged area within the building, but also to upgrade the flood defences around the clubhouse to prevent such events happening again.

At the last major flood event we were fortunate enough that our insurance covered the repairs and replaced any damaged equipment within the clubhouse, but since then they have refused to insure the buildings contents, therefore after such events as the one on New Years Day we have to find the funds ourselves.

So any donation you can make to help us bring this clubhouse back into use and assist in the upgrade to keep it safe in the future would be gratefully appreciated, any donation of any amount is equally appreciated.

Many Thanks,

Battyeford Sporting Club
