Rebuild bowling club after fire destroys it.
Foxton Beach, Manawatu-Wanganui
Fire tragically took our clubrooms last week (March 2nd) leaving members and the community devastated and without a clubhouse, a restaurant and also without a bowling green. So very sadly all our memorabilia has perished, and the memories have been taken away and our caterer has lost her business.
The club is the hub of the community and it means so much to so many people where they gathered regularly with family and friends. We also offered Twilight Bowls 2 nights a week in the summer season, and all our practice bowls have also perished.
Whilst we do have insurance to cover the building and the green, our contents insurance will not cover what we need for replacement, so we are asking the public for assistance to help with further funding for the interior. Please kindly help us to help our community by donating to our cause.
Thank you all for your kind words and support. F&BBC Committee.
Money will be used for inside furnishings and kitchenware for the restaurant.
THE AFTERMATH 26 March 2022
Firstly thank you all for your very kind donations, we are totally appreciative. Words just dont seem enough when we say "thank you from the bottom of our hearts". We still have a long way to go.
The sad realisation yesterday to see the demolition starting. The roof had to be taken down urgently due to the high wind gusts, causing a potentially dangerous situtation, if the wind had picked up the insecure roofing sheets. Still waiting on the outcome of what caused it, before we can progress.
Please please please keep helping us!! Thank you again
