Fundraising

There won't be many teams that won't need to fundraise at some point; there will be a limit to how deep parent's pockets can be. If you are happy to get stuck in to raising funds, you'll be a big asset to the club and also extremely popular! It is often used to raise cash for some particular training equipment, kit that a team needs or, perhaps, for an end of season social event for the players to attend.
