Story
We're running out of money.
We know this is a difficult time for lots of us and while we are reluctant to ask for help, the suspension of cricket has left the finances of our club in a perilous state.
It takes about £5,000 a year to run our club, but due to the lockdown, our income has disappeared. We rely on regular cricket for match fees, membership subs, bar takings and other fundraising. Please help us.
Your donation will allow us keep on top of electricity, insurance, telephone & internet and grounds maintenance (including equipment maintenance) bills. It's important that we keep the club in order and prepared for the resumption of cricket, whenever that will be.
We will not collect membership fees this year, with no certainty of cricket, so if you regularly join the club or donate as a vice president, please make your donation on this page. You will not be asked for membership fees later in the season.
If you are not connected with the club directly, but wish to support your historic local club, please consider a donation, however small.
GTCC is more than 150 years old, please help us survive this unprecedented period.
Thank you for your generous support.

4 years agoWe're nearly there - you've been amazing! We would like to thank everyone who has donated. A couple of weeks ago, we were staring down the barrel of an overdraft we don't have approval for, and beyond that, no certainty for the future of the club. That has changed thanks to your generosity. We believe that even with no resumption of cricket/social events, we can now manage through to next season. Thank you again for your wonderful support. Nick, James, Kevin, Richard and Paul - The Committee

4 years agoWell, we have had an incredible response, thank you all so much. As mentioned, we won't be collecting membership fees this year and the amount donated so far will ensure we make up a lot of that gap. If we can get to the target, that will cover the lost income from bar, match fees etc. This week we've had some mechanical issues with the roller and large mower, and now we know we can spend funds where needed if necessary. We are all very thankful for you support. Richard, Nick, Kev, Paul, James - the committee.
