Help Bristol's friendliest sports society buy much-needed new posts!

We are raising £628 to pay for 2 new Korfball posts this year! 

We are so excited to be hosting a Summer Tournament in June after a successful debut last year. These posts will enable us to host the event again and extend invites to more teams to get involved! 

Who are we?

Korfball Club is a fast growing sports society with 70 enthusiastic members, who are all set to benefit from new posts. Our members are dedicated to the sport, shown by our gold accreditation award and our team’s promotion to the highest local league. 

This project is being run by our Treasurer, Hannah, our Social Secretaries, Max and Karina, and our Publicity Officer, Kat.

Our story

We are hosting a tournament in June with the vision of providing our non-competitive members opportunities to play against other teams, strengthening our connection with the Korfball community, and to earn a profit for the club. 

We pride ourselves on inclusivity, and as Korfball is the only full gender equal sport in the world, our committee is dedicated to keeping equality a priority in our club. We therefore want to give all our members the chance to play competitively, and this tournament is a great way for everyone to get involved! Open to teams across the UK, the tournament also benefits the wider Korfball community and helps improve our club’s publicity. We cannot afford to buy these posts ourselves, but they are crucial for the success of our tournament.

The posts will be of infinite value to the club, as we can use them in all our training sessions. Our club’s membership numbers have almost doubled over the last two years, which is amazing, but we now need to get more equipment to account for more members.

Where will the money go?

If we hit our target, we will be buying 2 new piece-by-piece posts that will be transportable and can also be used in our training sessions. 

Should we receive any extra funding, we would put this towards the cost of sending our 2 teams to BUCS tournaments. Ours 1s went to the National Championship last year and this year is looking promising!

A breakdown of costs:

1 post with a base (cannot be bought separately): £289.00

Total for 2 posts and 2 bases: £578.00

Travel (fuel to pick up posts from seller): £50.00

Even if you can’t donate to us, we would be so grateful if you share this project with anyone who would be interested in supporting us. 

The more people who know about it, the more likely we are to reach our target! Plus, it would be great just to spread awareness about such an amazing and unique sport!
