THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
We asked – you delivered in spades! Our big Bank Holiday Charity fundraiser for Bury Hospice in memory of Ursula Skinner has been a huge success.
Monday was a truly memorable occasion and a large crowd attended despite unpredictable weather to enjoy some terrific entertainment.
The day showcased the very best of Greenmount Cricket Club with lots of fond memories, lots of fun and laughs, some bright future cricket prospects and incredible generosity.
Okay, so the BIG question is how much was raised? Well, we’re still in the process of finalising the total so next week’s round-up will have the answer.
But, so far it’s looking like we will have raised in excess of £5,000 for Bury Hospice. An amazing performance all round!
Massive thanks to each and every one of you, our members, who have given so generously to support such a wonderful cause. We’d like to thanks all our sponsors on the day and the players for giving up their time to taqke part in the match.
And a huge thanks to Ian Senior and Wesley Young, along with their team of volunteer supporters for organising the event. It really has been a huge labour of love and is greatly appreciated.
There’s always a danger of missing someone so if you were involved in any way – no matter how small – we thank and salute you!
Our chairman Andy Skinner would like to pass on his huge thanks to everyone that organised, attended, participated, donated, supported and enjoyed the event.
But wait, it’s not too late to donate – if you somehow missed it all you can still make a contribution by clicking here:
Hopefully, next week we will be able to share some photos of the day and confirm our final fundraising total.
CRICKET
Just two weeks remain of the season, this weekend sees the first team play their final home match as Enfield visit the Log Cabin on Sunday. Last chance to see Jacques this year so come down and give him a fond fairwell.
The second team visit Rochdale.
Meanwhile, last week saw all three teams fall foul of the weather with the big local derby at Ramsbottom washed out after only 14 overs.
