Helping to raise funds for our beloved club.

In the early hours of Monday Morning, New Years Day 2024, our family spirited community club the Wisbech & District Ex Services on Alexandra Road, was the target of an arson attack. Leaving staff, the committee, and its members in utter disbelief. How could someone intentionally set out to destroy a Non-Profit organisation where our Members including Ex Service personnel who are in most days of the week, (they come to the club for the company of the clubs other members and are the only people they talk to day to day), have a few drinks and watch their favourite sports, play cue sports, listen to music, attend events, competitions, tournaments and generally to socialise, everyone knows everyone.

The club is in a bad way, although it seems to be structurally sound, most of the internal damage is far beyond repair, with the majority of it needing to be stripped back, cleaned and rebuilt, which could take months.

While we keep our hopes pinned on the perpetrators being brought to Justice, our focus is to get to work and rebuild our very special club. We thank each and every one of you who has reached out to offer support and assistance, it is very much appreciated. Those that rallied to help secure the building after the Fire Brigade and Police released it back to committee a massive thank you also.

Although the insurance covers bringing the club back with fixtures, fittings, carpet, paint, electrical and plumbing. We have limited cover for everything else, equipment, Projectors, TV’s, Sound System, inhouse stream setup, table cameras etc. we are going to fall short.

We need your help more than ever, anything you can spare or running fund raisers while we get to work it would be much appreciated. We have one of the best community clubs around, lets get it back on its feet as quick as we can!

Whatever you can do we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
