Boxted Cricket Clubs permanent AstroTurf
Donation protected
On behalf of Boxted Cricket Club, I have set up this Fund Raiser to help our club complete a much needed pitch renovation in the form of a permanent AstroTurf Wicket. Should we be successful in achieving this goal, it will bring many benefits to both our members and the local community; as this dedicated, all weather, easy to access training facility, will help the progression of many of our young and adult players.
In order for meaningful practice sessions to commence, countless hours and great deal of hard work needs to be invested behind the scenes, (often from just a handful of selfless individuals), in order to allow people the opportunity to escape and exercise. This is where I ask, very kindly, for your appreciated contribution towards finishing our project, as we are now almost within touching distance of having this completed.
Without the addition of the AstroTurf, and taking into account the restrictions imposed by the Covid pandemic situation, quietsimply we will no longer be able to replicate the amount of time spent on preparing and maintaining the match square. Subsequently as a direct result, many individuals, colts and adults, will miss out on their opportunity to train and play matches. The AstroTurf will provide the solution by significantly reducing the amount of hard work that needs to take place in the form of pitch maintenance.
For as many years as I can remember, my Grandad, our groundsman, has invested countless hours in ensuring that no matter what, every week, individuals of our club had the opportunity to play cricket and train. However, it is with great sadness I regret to write he sadly passed away, and so now more than ever, this AstroTurf will be of vital importance. Without his guidance, planning and technical knowhow, The Boxted Cricket club of today is without one of its greatest assets, and I fear we may fail to continue to provide as much cricket to our community as we have in previous years.
On a positive note, I would like to emphasis the opportunitiesthe AstroTurf Wicket will bring to all the members of our club and wider community; as from a coaching perspective, having a specialised facility will open up potential for more meaningful and structured practice sessions to commence.
One of the greatest things our club is fortunate enough to pride ourselves on, is our thriving and established youth set up, and I feel this project will further enhance the quality of coaching and development we can deliver. Not only is this a fantastic opportunity for our junior development, but one for our adult players too. Ironically, in a time where many were being instructed to lockdown, isolate and social distance, community spirit prevailed and our club experienced an influx of new players, and many returning old faces. In a time when both Mental and Physical wellbeing were being challenged, it was through the love and the social enjoyment of cricket we were able to safely provide an escape for players and families alike.
Therefore, with this AstroTurf, not only do we have a chance to continue to train and play regularly with greatness of ease, but we also have the ability to support our players and their familiesthrough these difficult times. Any donation that is received will be forever appreciated by all, and this will have an ever-lasting contribution to everyone associated with Boxted CC.
To all those that read this I would like to once again express my Gratitude.
