Friends of cricket club have raised vital funds
Leicestershire County Cricket Club (LCCC) has received another generous donation of £12,000 from The Friends of Grace Road (FoGR). It is the third season in succession that the FoGR has
raised that amount of money and it will be used for the critical purchase of three pieces of equipment to keep the Fischer County Ground in top order. The donation will pay for a ride-on outfield mower, a
wicket mower for the outdoor nets and a scarifier that will be used on both the square and outdoor nets. The FoGR sold teas, coffees and its homemade cakes
at home matches during the 2016 season, ran a raffle during NatWest T20 Blast games and also helped in the organisation of key off-field events.
Wasim Khan MBE, Chief Executive of LCCC, said: “We
are absolutely delighted with the amount that has been raised through the endeavours of the FoGR. The club remains hugely grateful for its ongoing hard work and commitment and for the annual donations that are made to the club. This donation will help to replace three pieces of vital kit for the ground staff.” Roy Bent, Chairman of the FoGR, said: “I am pleased
to report that 2015-16 has been another very successful and profitable year for the FoGR and we appear to be well-placed with a rising number of volunteers, fantastic support from members and spectators alike and efficient organisation to continue our fundraising efforts in 2016-17.”
