Ricardo Taylor Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 Just to let you all know that two jars have been received by me at the weekend. the contents will be counted and will let you know what the contents are. The last donation has been used to help purchase a specialised drill. A supermarket bag fill has also been arranged for Sunday 15th December at Morrisons Pontefract. Help will be required for this event. This could be a very lucrative day as it puts the club out and about in Pontefract just before the festivities and the season starts.

Ricardo Taylor Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 Did well last week to hand out jars at the meet the directors evening. Special thanks go to the lady who returned a jar that was that heavy she had to use a shopping bag on wheels. I have lots of counting still taking place including a rather large tin of donations from lazy students. i will keep you all informed of the totals but its looking reasonable. Looking forward to our next meeting on Monday 28th October to discuss fund raising for ground developments. Venue The White House @20.00 or 8pm.

The Phantom Horseman Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 It's a fair point, but the new stands are a magnificent achievement regardless of whether the ground capacity regulations for SL are strictly enforced or not. In many ways the story behind them (transported and built largely by volunteers)symbolises the feelgood factor around the club at the moment. Also, the ground is just going to look better (indeed it already does) - much more like a stadium than was the case with the old terracing. Add to that the new Centre Of Excellence and Featherstone is a much more impressive place to visit than it was a couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOWFIELD Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I well remember a few years ago think it was at a game against the old celtic Crusaders, when a newspaper reporter i think from the independent did a piece on Rovers and the ground the game attracyed less than 1k spectators, be good if he came back now and did a report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Taylor Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Suggy, remember that article very well. Still got it somewhere. Be nice for the journo, to be invited back, wined and dined and then a fresh piece going alive stating the transformation of the club. 2008 RFL Wakefield & District Young Volunteer of the Year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricardo Taylor Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Well folks the first year of fund raising for ground improvements is now at an end. A small committee was set up and comprised of 3. Stuart Jodrell, Steve Godber and myself. Many ideas were thought of and a lot of hard work done behind the scenes to get fundraising active. To date the committee has raised some £844 which been used on the ground development work by the volunteers. As we start off the 2014 season on the field, we will continue our efforts off the field The committee are looking forward to raising more monies to help the project work. The fund raising team has raised money with Super market bag fills, Guess the contents of Jars containing pieces of Pasta and of course Jam Jars. The committee has not charged any expenditure and given up our time to help the club. We shall be starting again with jars when the league starts and have other fund raisers during the year. Thanks again to the fundraising team and those who have helped and contributed. It is very much appreciated. All the very best to you all for 2014 and thanks again.
