Saxton
Cricket Club
is 150 years old. We have 3 senior sides, 3 juniors sides
and over 250 members in total.
As
the lease for our old playing area expired in 2003, we have
acquired 2½ acres nearby and developed this into
an
attractive ground (with 3 strips for juniors' use only).
We
now aim to increase juniors' facilities (e.g. hard strip,
nets, sightscreens), and develop a small-scale, high quality
pavilion.
The
total cost of land, water, electricity, ground works and
new pavilion will be about £110,000. Although we are
a small club with limited resources we have raised over
£35,000 (from Selby DC, Awards For All, Yorkshire
Cricket Board, local residents and others) and made savings
worth £30,000 (on land, legal fees and plant hire).
So, only another £45,000 to go!
We
are too small for a lottery grant, but will
continue
to
apply
to other sources for funds. If you would like to make a
contribution, however small, please send a cheque made payable
to Saxton Cricket Club and send to: |
