Moorlands Launch Fund-Raising Project
20th December, 2007
Lincoln Moorlands Railway have begun a massive drive to raise cash for new changing rooms.
It started with last night's friendly with near-neighbours Boston United.
Currently, Moorlands have been using portable facilities that were only intended to be used for five years but have been up for closer to fifteen.
The club were promoted to Premier Division for this season on the understanding that new facilities would be built.
Secretary Graham Peck said: "When we merged with the Railway Club they brought with them nine junior and girls teams who use the pitch recently developed next to the main ground.
"However, when a senior team is playing it means the junior teams have no changing facilities which is not very pleasant.
"We have about 70 per cent of the cost waiting for us at the Football Foundation but we need to raise something like ?20,000 in a fairly short time."
Moorlands are launching a 'Buy a Brick' project which will be ?10 for an individual or ?25 for a business to buy a brick that will be acknowledged on the club's website and in match programmes.
During the summer there will also be a outside music concert and, hopefully, a sportsman's dinner and friendlies.
