Beverley based Allus Netball Club got a real boost to their club funds after they participated in a bag pack at the local Tesco supermarket on Morton Lane.
The club that fields teams from year 5 at school all way through to open age say the money will help them fund entries into competitions and allow them to purchase much-needed equipment.
Thanks to the generosity of the customers at Tesco’s Allus Netball Club raised a staggering £760.
Helen Mitchell Smith, the Chair of the Club said;
“On behalf of Allus Netball Club I would like to thank Tesco and all their customers for allowing the Netball girls the opportunity to help pack their bags and for the generous donations that your customers gave the girls in return.”
Allus Netball Club started their junior section 5 years ago and has continued to go from strength to strength.
It is a credit to the club and the standard they play that they have seen girls gain places in the Satellite and County Academies and also in the Regional Netball Academy.
Further testament to the quality of netball played was demonstrated just a few weeks ago as their current U14 and U16 squads qualified to take part in the regional league and both gained 4th place overall.
Helen added;
“Our U19s squad also qualified in first position in Humberside and will be playing in a regional tournament in May.”
“All age groups play in various different leagues and tournaments including our adult to open age where we have three separate squads playing in the Humberside League.”
“Allus take girls from school year 5 and upwards and will be looking at a further intake in September. Anyone interested in netball can see our web site at allusnetball.co.uk”
“ Our attendance on Saturday was to fund all the league entries and tournament entries and also much needed equipment to support our growing Club. Allus collected £760 on Saturday, with all age groups, parents and coaches attending.”
Packing bags at supermarkets is proving to be a vital tool for clubs and other social groups to raise much-needed money so they can continue to operate in Beverley.
