FRIENDS OF EBBW VALE RFC
Posted: 08 May 2019 12:02
Good morning all, I openly invite discussion about the Friends of Ebbw Vale RFC fund. Both Steve Young and myself have worked tirelessly to get this fund going and to an extent we have succeeded in making slow progress. It appears that many supporters are unaware of our aims and objectives.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
To secure the future of EVRFC financially and cover the loss in income from the decrease in WRU funding.
We specifically have looked at the best ways to manage the funds. We discussed at length that none of the fund will be used to pay players . We believed that the best way to support is by funding kit requirements, medical requirements and support injured player s who are unable to work due to an injury that happened whilst playing for EVRFC.
To this end we have achieved part of our goal. As I said in a previous post , we funded two injured players prior to Christmas. We are in a position to help pay for some of the kit required for next season . What frustrates me more than anything is reading in the South Wales Argus about Friends of Newport RFC handing over 50k this season alone .I know that many people can t afford to hand over large sums but we are asking for £2.50 per week.We can get this sort of money too, if everyone gets on board and supports this venture. I m happy for anyone to become involved. If it is thought by someone else taking over it will move forward I ll happily step aside. All I m after is EVRFC to continue to be a top 4 premiership club.
So , ladies and gentlemen the ball is firmly in your court. Come up with ideas , come up with some coin and let s see EVRFC thrive
If you want to make a difference the account number and sort code is as follows.
sort code 30/92/97 account no. 33007968.
Thanks again Karl
