On the 27 July 2006 8 Members of West Bergholt Football Club Committee will be taking part in our very own 3 Peaks Challenge to raise money for a new clubhouse and we are also raising money for St Helena Hospice.
THE FOOT OF THE PAGE
Our club is in desperate need of new facilities to replace the current structure, which is old and beyond repair. The Borough Council have recently approved our plans, which include new changing and shower facilities for the football club and also the village's multi-sports court, disabled access, baby changing facilities and a meeting room, so our next task is to raise money to enable the building work to commence. The team are hoping that the money raised by this adventure will be a giant leap towards our target of £100,000.
As
well as raising money ourselves we also applying for lottery funding,
which we hope to secure in 2006.
As mentioned earlier we will also be donating some of the money raised
to the St Helena Hospice.
St
Helena Hospice exists to provide support for patients requiring
palliative care and for their
families and friends. This support is designed to enable the individual
to live in comfort with the
dignity, degree of independence and control of life which is appropriate.
To
meet their objectives the hospice provides a range of specialist palliative
care services through
community and inpatient services working from sites in Colchester and
Clacton.

The 3 peaks is the ultimate challenge facing hill-walkers in the United Kingdom. To successfully complete the challenge the climbers are required to scale the 3 highest mountains in mainland Britain, Ben Nevis in Scotland, Scafell Pike in England and Snowdon in Wales.
(1,344m)
(978m)
(1,084m)
When they reach the summit of Snowdon, our team will have climbed over 11,000 feet and will have travelled over 500 miles. All in 24 hours.
The 8 climbers
will be accompanied by support members who's task will be to drive the
climbers to each peak and to help them recover and recuperate along the
way.
This is going to be a huge personal challenge for every member of the
team and will require months of physical preparation and precise planning.
Our experience will be documented in the local press as well as here on the club's website.
With the valuable support that we have received from the various companies above, we have now planned our event and have all the necessary equipment and resources we need to make the challenge a success and above all safe.
Now
we are looking to local individuals and businesses to support our efforts
sponsoring us.
Your sponsorship, no matter how much, will bring us one step closer to
making our new club house a reality and used by St
Helena Hospice to ensure their exceptional care for its patients
continues.
If you are able to sponsor our efforts you can either e-mail us at info@westbergholtfc.co.uk or call us on 01206 241525 and a representative from the club will arrange to come and collect your sponsorship from you.
