We all feel a thrill when we see people from our community compete at the highest level and bring home a medal to prove it. However, 80 per cent of local talented athletes struggle with the cost of training, equipment, travel, nutrition and competition involved in progressing their sporting dream.

It offers thousands of pounds-worth of funding and free training opportunities to local people. It is all about investing in local talent, supporting local athletes and inspiring local communities.

A total of 128 stars of tomorrow are receiving Foundation support this year. With your help we can help even more local talented sports people towards sporting glory.

These provide amenities for numerous local sportsmen together with facilitating an extensive and thriving youth policy.

The hall and bar areas provide social premises able to host events ranging from family celebrations to large events like the Keswick to Barrow walk.

The Club faces a new significant challenge since BAE negotiations have resulted in a considerable reduction in their support which now entails total site maintenance becoming the Clubs responsibility. This will require significant additional funding to ensure our sustained existence.

We believe the Club is a vital asset in promoting the health and wellbeing of the local community but we need help to preserve these facilities.
