Bottesford Football Club would like people to ‘buy a brick’ to help build its new clubhouse

Bottesford FC are offering its local community and businesses the chance to buy a small stake in the future of the club – in the shape of a brick.

The Leicestershire club has launched its latest fund-raising scheme to help its bid to raise substantial funding for a brand new clubhouse at its Nottingham Road base.

The “Buy a brick” campaign will enable club followers, and local businesses to secure a permanent place in its new clubhouse.

Supporters can purchase a personally engraved brick for £50 and businesses a larger brick for £100. These will be mounted on the wall in the reception area of the new clubhouse, providing a long-term recognition of their commitment to the club.

After securing substantial funding from the Football Foundation for the clubhouse project, Bottesford have been tasked to raise a £25,000 contribution before the end of the year. Application forms can be obtained from any club official or downloaded from the club website www.bottesfordfc.co.uk.
