Recreation Ground
Dreams to Reality
“Revive & update the Cherry Gardens Ironbank Recreation Ground’s Clubrooms to ensure they become the vibrant hub of a proud local community” We really need your help!
For a long time, the Recreation Ground has punched above its weight, a community owned facility that was literally hand built by the original members but is now being held together with 'band aid' fixes by tireless lifelong volunteers like Di, Brian & Noel Morgan. Inevitably though, this generosity from a few will run out.
With little council support, any Government Grants heading to our already rich neighbours (*sigh*) & the small amount of money made distributed to the clubs to help with their rising costs, the Recreation Ground has deteriorated.
So in true Cherry Gardens Ironbank style we're going it alone and have launched a fundraising campaign to help us renovate the clubrooms. We encourage you to take a few minutes to read all about it on our new website, https://cgibrg.wixsite.com/cgibrg from Our Mission & the Story so far to the exciting plans we've come up with for the rooms.
We're not expecting any single saviour but, if everyone who uses and relies on this club, or for those who have made this place their second home could just donate a small amount, whatever you can afford, then it will all add up to something special.
So let's not rely on everyone else, It only takes a minute to donate and is securely done through the Australian Sports Foundation. Ladies like Di & Kat volunteer hours and hours on a Thursday Night cooking dinner to help this cause, we can show our support for them here.
At the very least please follow our Facebook page and keep up to date with the exciting developments.
We've already made a great start before going public with this campaign thanks to donations from the Sports Clubs & the Cherry Chatter Association. Also events like the AFL Grand Final day will slowly add up but your help could really get the (net, foot, cricket, tennis) ball rolling.
*All donations are TAX DEDUCTIBLE thanks to our partnership with the Australian Sports Foundation* Go to the website to find out more
