OBC's Cricket Pavilion Redevelopment at Elmwood Park

Despite OBC being the largest Cricket Club in the South Island, with over 500 current playing members and 60 registered teams this summer to cater for, we lack an adequate Clubhouse. Currently at Elmwood Park the old Clubhouse is dilapidated and earthquake damaged - and our changing rooms were demolished after the earthquakes, so we are now in port-a-coms - which we have been stuck in since 2011.

Our Committee has been working tirelessly to provide better facilities for our Club members. With such a rich history and so many proud members, it is time to provide them (and the community in general) with a better facility at Elmwood Park.

We've spent years developing this plan, and the Pavilion redevelopment will be something everyone can be proud of for generations to come. Somewhere people can feel welcome and safe, and come to enjoy each other's company, somewhere to display our Club's memorabilia which dates back as early as 1924 - but has been out of sight and out of mind since the earthquakes.

We've got the approval from the Council Community Board, we've got the concept designs and we've raised over half the money required to make this a reality. It's time to turn the page and start an exciting new chapter - but the Club needs your help - any contributions to our fundraising efforts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks !!
