CLUBHOUSE REDEVELOPMENT

Henley Rugby Club is about to embark on its most ambitious redevelopment programme ever to provide the first class facilities, which will support its various activities through the community. The attached brochure outlines what we are going to do and most importantly how we are going to raise the considerable sum of money, around £700K, to finance it. Funding is being sought from 2 sources, third party funders and you the members of the club. The third party funders we will approach are

The RFU
Sport England
SODC CIF fund
The town Council
Lafarge-Tarmac Community Fund
These funders would expect those who will benefit most from the enhanced facility, namely the club members, to contribute around 30% of the total, so our target is £200k. This is your team managing this project

Project Manager - Christopher Reeves
3rd Party Funding - Aubrey Doran
Chris Nixon - Membership Funding
Mike Trethewey
Joanna Emmerson
Mike Thomas
David Yarnton
Please feel free to contact any one of them at any time if you want further information or have ideas to contribute to the programme. You will see from the brochure the project is split into 2 parts, the first being the upgrade of the clubhouse followed by the building of the changing rooms.

The attached brochure identifies all the ways you can contribute to the project fund, from the modest sponsoring of a paver or seat to having a significant room or part of the facility named after you or your family. Alternatively you may just wish to make a stand alone donation. If you down load the brochure you can complete the order/payment forms and submit to Mary at the club. Additional hard copy forms within the brochure can also be obtained from the office.

Sponsorship and donations of £500 and above will qualify for tax relief under the EIS scheme and all money donated will go into a special development account set up solely for this purpose, distinct and separate from that used for the ongoing running of the club.

This is a very significant development in the club’s history and one in which I am sure members will want to be involved, so please contribute and have your name inscribed in the Legacy Book or even on the Honours Board to be seen by generations to come, as they enjoy the benefits of this fantastic club, benefits that are as a result of your endeavours.
