00:00Hi, I'm Celina Badhun. I'm the Entertainments Manager at Walsall Cricket Club.
00:05And I'm Jane Moore. I look after the annual subscriptions and I'm also the new president of Walsall Cricket Club.
00:13I'm actually the first female in the club's history, so it's a huge honour to do the role.
00:19We're hugely, hugely grateful and thankful for all our Walsall Cricket Club members and everybody that enjoys themselves here for reaching our target.
00:29We've reached our target of 30,000 today. Sports England Movement Fund have put in an extra 15,000 to match funders for 30,000 today.
00:40And it's amazing. Absolutely amazing.
00:42And the fundraising hasn't stopped. We've got other events coming up in the next couple of weeks.
00:48And these will continue through to the end of January when the crowdfunding page will officially close.
00:54So we're still appealing to our members and people out there to help support us so that we can get new facilities for the club and so that future generations of cricketers will benefit from them.
01:06And the last thing I'd like to say, the club's been here for 200 years and there's old companies in Walsall that have been here for just as long and we want to call for them to help us.
01:16£200, £300, £400 will help us reach a greater target and make this club here for generations to come.
01:24So if any companies are out there, please help us.
