Chastleton Charity Walk Fundraising Event
Saturday 16th July 2022
Saturday dawned well for the club’s, historic, fund raising walk to and from Chastleton house. Quite a crowd gathered to see off the walkers on a lovely, sunny day and a larger crowd gathered at Chastleton to welcome them on the first leg of the journey, attracted, not least, by the exceedingly tasty cakes on offer in the church.
A good number of club members got the chance to play on the lawns at Chastleton house and Croquet was ‘brought home’ to Moreton with a game played between two of our members and our, very welcome, guests from the South West federaration.
All in all a successful fund raiser and a day to be proud of.
Can You Help With Funding?
Although our crowd funding target has been reached we need to continue raising funds to complete the works, including laying the base and connecting utility services.
So we have continued with more afternoon teas at Chastleton and car boot sales among other events throughout the summer.
Other Fundraising Projects
Moreton in Marsh croquet club is up and running with members signed up to play both for leisure and competition. However we are looking to raise funds towards facilities at the club site. The biggest expense to come is building a clubhouse as detailed above. We also have some high costs for improving the lawns to get them up to competition standard over the coming months and probably years.
We have a planned budget in place for these costs and club members are already doing as much they can to raise money. This includes events such as Car Boot Sales, providing Afternoon Teas for visitors to Chastleton House, social events such as a Quiz Night and Fish & Chip Supper along with many others to come this year.
At the same time we are looking to increase local support and sponsorship from businesses, groups or individuals who would like to contribute in any way they can.
We also need volunteers to join an enthusiastic group for various tasks, could you spare some of your time to help the club?
Please contact us if you can help in any way.
