Help Ripley Netball Club get flood lights to train
Donation protected
Hi!
Ripley Netball Club was the first netball club in Derbyshire to begin socially distanced netball training outside when restrictions began to ease after the lockdown. Bubbles were created and we were finally able to see our coaches and friends after so long whilst sticking to government guidelines and England Netball's new ruling system. We have been very fortunate to be able to return as a club to train since we have all found it has helped us feel 'normal' in such a hard and uneasy time as well as helping our own physical and mental health. We'd be utterly lost without training every week and doing the sport we love! But since the nights are drawing in, training is starting to look like it will come to a halt since we don't have any outdoor lights where we train. We have been quoted £1200 for two flood lights to be put up either side of the court but since this is a lot of money, we cannot raise this purely by ourselves. Our members range from primary school children to university graduates and mothers, so money for some can be a problem but we are doing our absolute best. Any help would be greatly appreciated whether it's five pound or one pound - we just want to be able to keep doing the sport we love and support each other through this difficult time!
**EDIT the price of each light is now £650 and we have been told we now need 4!**
Thank you so much!
