Palmerston cricket club

Why we should receive the grant:

Club Palmerston is a cricket club steeped in tradition dating back over a hundred years. Sadly cost of admin has seen the clubrooms folded but the essence if the club remains strong with a few core individuals that keep it alive season upon season. As with most clubs these days we survive on grants , the last grant we recevied I believe was from the anz and we managed to get 2 score boards. We are eternally gratefully. My plea to join this year is for 3 tablets to help with the scoring through crichq. This would help the club immensely. Club Palmerston has a recent representative whom was selected for manawatu seniors this is a great testament to club as we are truly the underdogs when playing against the well established teams. The club is very diverse with cricket connect society ranging from Zimbabwean Afghanistan India truly reflecting the new new Zealand cultural landscape. We have written a new club character were we seek to embrace the essence of the game whilst respecting each other and our opponents. We recently got a new playing kit and look the flashest around. This will hopefully encourage new members to join and keep the club alive. I did mention anz last successful grant , this was probably when we last purchased new team gear and bags. If I could amend my request to tablets and gear carrying bags. Whilst the gear is old it still works. I look forward to your review of my request. I am currently the p2 captain and greatly aporeaciate any help you can. Please visit our Facebook page for pics.
