All Weather Pitch Appeal - Donate to our GoFundMe and help us to fund more winter pitches

Paul Thurston11 Feb - 09:27

Support Hurst Colts & Horses! Fund all‑weather pitches to protect match time and keep local kids playing through this non-stop rain!

Without donations to meet this target we simply can't afford to offer additional all weather pitches during the wet winter months

We want to keep our registration fees as low as possible (and are cheaper than most other local Clubs), but right now we are struggling to meet the rising costs of hiring these pitches, and need to raise an additional £4,500 this year. Rather than increasing registration fees for everybody, we’re asking for help from anyone (parents/carers/grandparents, local businesses, absolutely anyone!) who feels able to give us some extra support.

This season we have lost out on a huge number of hours of match time through the winter months because our usual grass pitches were unplayable. We can't control the weather, but we do want to avoid cancelling matches as much as we possibly can!

We are fortunate to have a number of all-weather 3G and 4G pitches locally that we can hire to try and keep matches being played, and to keep weekly training sessions happening, but these come at a significant additional cost to the Club.

If you feel able to donate any amount, please do so today. Thank you so much!
