Over the last few months we have been working with the juniors, local Councillor John Lawless and Keighley Town Council on applying for funding to aid with our growing junior training programme.
Tonight Madison was invited to speak before the funding committee at the council. The committee included several council employees, local councillors and the Mayor. She did an amazing job highlighting the need for additional training equipment and free club clothing for our Juniors. She also eloquently explained how we need to improve the scorebox and replace the window. Finally she spoke about how we offer free training to the kids of Long Lee, where there is little for them to do in the village, and how we could encourage more children to enjoy cricket if we had better equipment and facilities.
The committee were so impressed that they voted unanimously in favour of approving a grant of £3000! An amazing result for our club and our juniors.
A massive thanks to Moo, John and all the juniors that put together a paragraph to support the application. Proud of Moo, proud of our club.
