Thank you so very much Bures Music Festival for the incredibly generous cheque we have received from you. We are enormously grateful for this huge amount and it will be extremely useful in our efforts to rebuild our pavilion following the devastating fire. You do so much to help all the local charities and it is very very much appreciated 🥰🙏👏

The pavilion stands for 180 years before a fire, suspected to be arson, destroys it.

DEVASTATING FIRE – A note from the President.

Chris Chambers on behalf Bures and District Cricket Club with the dedicated support of Club Chairman Chris Crace, Club Captain Carl Wright, Committee and Members wishes to thank everyone for their profound messages of support and shared disbelief of the apparently wilful destruction of our Pavilion. It has been a landmark building enjoyed so much by those using it and many observing its presence on a daily basis.

As our Chairman has reported, a new pavilion will rise from the ashes. It will take time, planning and above all fundraising and wide support. For all those who have expressed their horror, we join you with similar thoughts. Please be assured we will engage with you all once a structured plan is formulated. As a club, we are immensely grateful for your outpouring of support.

We would like to thank you all for the many, many messages of support and offers for help. We have been blown away by the kindness people have shown us on what has been an incredibly sad day for our club. Local clubs and also clubs from other parts of the UK who have toured and played at Bures and even an Australian club have all been in touch and we really appreciate your messages of support and are so grateful to you all for reaching out.
We do live in a wonderful community.

However, we need a little time to understand what has happened and what we do next before we start any fundraising, including speaking to our insurers etc. Once we have a coordinated plan we will look to raise funds, where appropriate, and we will then ask for help.

We really have been touched by everyone’s comments - thank you all 🙏
