Tickets are available for an event that will support the installation of a new kitchen at a local sports club.
Dubbed ‘Kitchen Aid’, the funds will support minor building work that is needed prior to the new kitchen being installed at Emmbrook Sports and Social Club in Lowther Road.
As we reported in September 2023, the club, which is home to Wokingham & Emmbrook FC and Emmbrook and Bearwood Cricket Club, was awarded the kitchen was awarded as part of Howden’s Game Changer initiative.
Andrew Livingston, chief executive officer of Howdens, said: “The off-pitch facilities are vital, because clubhouses are the hub of the community.
“They’re the place for teas and coffees for the taxi of mum and dad, where the frozen wet feet of the army of volunteers dry off, and where the post-match discussion starts.”
Mark Ashwell, president of Wokingham & Emmbrook Football Club, said: “I am thrilled we have been chosen by Howdens to receive a new kitchen.
“We pride ourselves on the welcome we give to everyone who comes to Lowther Road, and a new kitchen will only enhance what we do.”
The fundraising event on February 3 will feature party band Pink Fish. Tickets are priced at £10 and are only available in advance from www.ticketsource.co.uk/essc.
