Are you a part of a cricket club in Wales and keen to improve your clubhouse and grounds? Well, have you thought about raising money through Crowdfunder and Sport Wales’ A Place for Sport scheme?
Local clubs across Wales are doing just that.
Find out how local communities have rallied around three cricket clubs to raise funding for projects – and then been awarded a match-funding grant from Sport Wales - to:
- Invest in new machinery to keep the grounds looking ship shape
- install a new electronic scoreboard
- improve its pavilion with accessible access and changing rooms
Denbigh Cricket Club raise money for electronic scoreboard
Going all out to modernise the club, Denbigh Cricket Club turned to Crowdfunder and Sport Wales’ A Place for Sport scheme.
Deciding it was high time for an electronic scoreboard, it launched a Crowdfunder campaign in the hope it could replace the ancient scoreboard that was always in need of repair and was positioned behind the spectator viewing area. Not ideal!
The club was bowled over when it exceeded the £4000 target, raising £5340 in just 34 days. Now the club can benefit from a brand-new electronic scoreboard which provides ball by ball updates rather than relying on players to change the score after the end of every over. Howzat!
