Preparations are underway for the new football season with Ivanhoe teams kicking off from early September.
The club has invested in the catering and bar facilities at the A1 Garage Doors Arena. The improvements have seen the club achieve a 5 Star food hygiene rating. For teams playing on the pitches at the recreation ground in Tupton, there will be a full menu of food and drink available from the fully licensed café/bar.
Close-season work on maintaining the pitches and facilities has been undertaken to ensure the pitches and surrounding areas are in excellent condition for the new season. As the number of teams has grown, three sites are used across Tupton for training and matches.
Antony Maidens, Chair of New Tupton Ivanhoe F.C. said “Thank you to all the volunteers who work tirelessly through the summer to prepare everything for the new season. From registering players to pitch maintenance and from the refurbishment of the café to fundraising, without their efforts, the club would not continue to develop.”
New Tupton Ivanhoe F.C. continues to fundraise for a fourth facility, which will bring benefits not just for the club but the wider community.
The refurbishment of the Multi-Use Games Area, located by the Community Hub in Tupton, will bring forward an all-weather training area for the club and other community groups in the village.
The Britannia Pub continues to support fundraising and following a summer of activity, £13,000 has been raised towards a target of £25,000.
Dave Hoult, Secretary of New Tupton Ivanhoe F.C. said “A massive thank you to The Britannia Pub for their ongoing support for the MUGA. They have organised some amazing events and a raffle, which has been invaluable in moving towards our target. We look forward to supporting them in what they have planned next!”
