CL Patron's Club - 3 Year Membership (2022-24 inclusive)

Cricket Leinster was successful in 2019 in securing a Sport Capital Grant for equipment from the last round of Government funding.

The amount of funding secured was €56,000 and is conditional upon us making an attaching contribution of €24,000 to purchase equipment worth a total of €80,000 for the benefit of the cricket club network across Leinster.

The equipment to be purchased will have a massively positive impact on our clubs especially those currently operating with inadequate facilities and it includes everything from plastic cricket sets right through to bowling machines, mobile nets, coaching equipment, gazebos, water containers etc. The equipment will be retained in ownership by Cricket Leinster and made available to clubs for their use as appropriate especially those clubs committed to developing their youth cricket programmes.

Given the Covid-19 impacts on our operation, we find ourselves in a position where we are very challenged to fulfil our component of the funding (€24,000).

In this context and in an effort to address this challenge, we are now offering existing patrons and key contacts the opportunity to become of 3-year member of the Cricket Leinster Patron's Club at a once-off cost of €375 with all net funds raised being directly exclusively towards fulfilling our financial commitment above and in doing so, availing of the grant to purchase the new equipment for the benefit of club cricket throughout Leinster.

As part of this 3-Year CL Patron membership, you would be entitled to the following:

- Free copy of the Cricket Leinster Annual Report each year (2022-2024 inclusive)
- Option to have your name recorded and published as a CL Patron in all appropriate CL publications and website over this period
- Automatic invitation to 'cricket tea' at all Leinster Lightning One-Day fixtures played in the Leinster region
- Quarterly CL newsletters to keep you briefed on how the funds have been invested and what benefits are being derived across the club network

If you would like to become a 3-year Cricket Leinster Patron as above, please follow the link.

Thanks a million for considering this request and thanks for all your support in the past 12 months - it has greatly assisted us in sustaining our services during this most challenging time.
