Story
You may have seem some action and activity happening with ASTRO turf and underlay being delivered to the waste land in Castlebay. Story behind this is the Junior Sports club were approached by CnES 2 weeks ago and were given first offer of free used ASTRO turf which has come from a 3g pitch in Stornoway. (This ASTRO would have been shipped to the mainland otherwise). There is enough ASTRO to line the old ballcourt beside the pitch and to create a community ASTRO pitch for everyone to use. Junior sports committee agreed to this free donation of ASTRO and had a very tight timeline to get it delivered to Barra as it had to be off the premises in Stornoway within the week. As a club, this is a great opportunity to create a community ASTRO court and will likely be the only improvements in sports facilities this island is likely to see for some time .
We are having to pay all transport costs however of getting the ASTRO turf delivered to Barra and are looking to raise £5000 to help cover transport costs and materials and also looking for help in laying the ASTRO once the cage is ready.
We have set up a justgiving page to help raise these very needed funds and any donations given would be gratefully appreciated. All monies raised will go directly towards transportation costs and materials. Many thanks for your time in reading this and please help in any way you can. If you fancy doing some fund raising please feel welcome as every penny will count! Any donation however small will be one step closer to helping cover these costs. Many Thanks Junior sports committee 🤞
