Settle Cricket Club

COMMUNITY SPORT · MARCH 2026

Philanthropic Lodge No. 304 contributed £2,500 towards new practice nets at Settle Cricket Club in March 2026. The contribution helped the club pass its fundraising target of more than £40,000 so work on the nets could begin.

Helping a project reach its target

The club had already been raising money for the new facilities. Our contribution formed part of that combined effort, alongside support from other organisations and individuals. The lodge’s original report records the club’s intention to continue developing its junior membership through the improved practice facilities.

Club chair Andy Pickering thanked the supporters for helping make the nets possible. The photographs below show the ground, the practice nets and the supporters’ banner, giving visitors a view of the project described in the report.

What this contribution represents

The £2,500 is the amount recorded for the lodge’s support. The overall project target of more than £40,000 was the club’s fundraising target, rather than an amount raised solely by Philanthropic 304.

The supporters’ banner also recognises Settle Rotary Club and other contributors. Community facilities can bring together several sources of support, and the banner records that wider effort.
