We are delighted to report we have a new outfield mower and shipping container thanks to kind grants from both the Exeter Chiefs Foundation and The Norman Family Charitable Trust.
The mower replaces the dated gang mowers previously used and the shipping container offers a much needed storage space for the club.
The Exeter Chiefs Foundation was formed in 2011 and since it’s inception has raised more than £3 million & helped more than 150 local causes. We have hosted a three way cricket festival in the last two years, featuring a Jack Yeandle XI, a Thorverton Village team and a Thorverton CC team. This has been well supported by the local community and in both years we have made a donation from the monies raised to the Exeter Chiefs Foundation. We are extremely thankful to have received a grant of £3,500 from the foundation towards the purchase of the new mower and the container.
The Norman Family Charitable Trust was set up in 1979 to help worthy causes in the South West and has distributed over £11 million to over 11,000 local causes in Devon. We are extremely grateful to have received £1,500 in funding towards the purchase of the mower & container.
We have also been kindly provided with CCTV cameras to add additional security to the club, courtesy of SJ & DM Diggle Electrical Ltd. Many thanks to them for their kind support.
Thank you to Alex Jopling for securing the grant from the Norman Family Trust, Keith Cudby for securing the grant from the Exeter Chiefs Foundation and sourcing the mower and container & for Ben Slaviero for liaising with SJ & DM Diggle Electrical Ltd.
