Stelrad has donated a dozen of its Compact radiator models as part of the clubhouse renovations at Ashington Cricket Club in Northumberland.
The club house at the club has been undergoing improvements recently and this included renovation of its heating system. While cricket is traditionally a game for warm summer evenings, Ashington needs to generate income all year round to support its summer events. So when it made a plea for help with its new heating system, Stelrad was happy to step up to the plate and help with the new radiators.
“It is a tough job in this current economic climate to keep the club financially afloat. If it was not for sponsors and businesses like Stelrad who support us, we would struggle. That is why we really appreciate their support,” says Steve Storey, club chairman.
Ashington Cricket Club was formed in 1892 and has been at its current location since 1920. In 1960, the pavilion/clubhouse was built, which is still in use.
It’s a non-profit making organisation, all money generated over the bar, from player subscriptions and from local sponsors, goes towards maintaining the club and providing facilities and equipment for cricket. The club currently has three adult men’s teams, a Women’s team and a junior section (ages 5 – 15). The men’s first team plays in the NE Premier League, which is the highest league available in the area.
