Have You looked into ECB grants/funding as this is where we got a fair chunk of ours from?

I'm sure our grants officer has already but we still need alot to get matched, and some require clubmark which we are working towards too!

They do, a percentage of every donation, that's taking a cut in my book!

  as treasurer i obtained 50k from sport England  for  club facilities changing rooms perimeter fence ground equipment etc the whole process from application to getting approval took 4 Weeks followed by a further  12 weeks to get quotes in.
Maybe worth a try.

This!
Might be worth looking into what grants are available, through Sport England, the ECB & The National Lottery. It might come to nothing, but it can't hurt to look into these options, can it?

Just a suggestion @Woodyspin , why not do an online raffle for a top of the range sponsors bat? £5 a ticket and all the profit goes to the club? I'd certainly buy a few tickets if I knew there was a chance of winning a bat.

We could always do this again although last time it was only offered to the club, might be worth talking to the committee about investing. We did raise £300 i think it was with a @Dunamis Cricket bat :)

@Woodyspin pm me your email address mate, I'll send you some of our possible funding links. May also have a fund available soon in line with our sports club ground protection programmes
