Our current floodlights on pitches 1, 2 and 3 are suffering from their 20+ years of use and are desperately in need of repair and indeed replacement in some cases.

Therefore we have opened this 'Urgent Floodlight Repairs' appeal in association with Greenham Common Trust in order to hopefully raise the £4k to £6k required to get all our floodlights fully functional again.

These floodlights are used every week to allow mid-week usage at Newbury RFC for junior and senior teams from U13's to 1st team, including U15's and U18's Girls, U18's Colts and the annual School's 'Floodlight Tournament', to take place.

If you or your company would like to help contribute to this worthy appeal, please go to http://www.findmeagrant.org/wberks/browse.aspx and enter "WB11371" as the Keyword.

Please help us get the floodlights fully operational again. Contributions will be 'matched' by Greenham Common Trust and added to via a Gift Aid contribution - so a £10 donation would be converted to a £22.50 contribution to our target.

All donators will receive an official email receipt from Greenham Common Trust (which is eligible for business accounting purposes) and regular updates on how the contributions are doing. Indeed; if the target figure is not reached within a certain period of time, Greenham Common Trust will refund your generous donation in full.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Steve Gibbs (Newbury RFC Trustee and Greenham Common Trust liaison representative) or indeed another Newbury RFC committee member.

Many thanks for anything that you can offer.

Yours in rugby,

Newbury RFC Committee
