Pavilion Renovation
The Cricket and Football Club together with Churt Parish Council propose to extend and modernise the Pavilion. Plans have been approved by Waverley Borough Council and may be viewed on their Planning portal.
From the green, there will be little change, but at the rear, it is proposed to convert the garage and add a small extension to accommodate female changing rooms. Additional storage will be created to securely and safely store sports equipment.
Update - 1 July 2025
We are delighted to announce that plans for the building works have been passed by Waverley Borough Council and planning permission has been granted.
The community sports clubs have already committed £25,000 toward our goal of £230,000. Grant funding applications are also underway with Surrey County Council, Surrey ECB, The Football Foundation and others. But we still have a gap in our funding and need to raise further funds.
Can you help?
Local support is critical to show potential funders that we all stand behind this exciting project. Please link here for more information and to donate.
The interior will be reconfigured to create a much larger communal area for local people to meet and socialise. The side entrance will be upgraded to allow better access to those who have mobility issues, we aim to put in bi-fold doors on the front to allow easy access to the terrace. A stand-alone shed will be built behind the nets to store the grounds maintenance and sports equipment; solar panels will be added to help create a cleaner, greener community and reduce running costs.
We believe this will provide a much-needed modernisation and improvement of the facilities of the existing pavilion and allow it to benefit our sports teams and even the wider local community. But all this comes at a cost - potentially £230,000! Most of this will be funded via grants; however, we are looking at fundraising events within the community during the summer to demonstrate interest. Please watch Churt community social media pages for details of how you can contribute and help us to turn our plans into reality.
