The damage wrought by the October 1987 hurricane appears like a lifetime ago. It is, of course. The UCC pavilion , which was constructed during the subsequent winter and was opened 30 years ago, is now showing the ravages of age. Consequently, the Club Committee has decided upon a programme of remedial work which should result in the restoration of the pavilion to something approaching its original condition.
The initial focus will be on repairs to the front verandah. The principal work will include swapping the Visitors and Home changing rooms and enlarging the (new) Home room at the expense of the club room.
Part of the cost can be met from the reserves which the club has maintained, specifically for this purpose. We will be need to raise approximately £9,000 from grants and other funding sources. One advantage which we have is that UCC is registered as a Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC). Any donations to a CASC by a taxpayer will be tax deductible (exactly like a donation to a charity).
Updated information will be posted as plans progress. In the interim please direct any question to the Hon. Treasurer Chris Close.
