The Ashbourne Hall Committee and Ashbourne Cricket Club have put forward a joint project in the $40 Million Fund My Neighbourhood program to upgrade the facilities at Ashbourne Oval that will support the Ashbourne Cricket Club and a wide range of other community organisations and groups, including the school, within the Ashbourne Community and surrounding districts.
Ashbourne Oval is is a dedicated cricket oval and whilst it sits in picturesque surrounds with turf pitches and a wonderfully grassed field, our clubroom facilities leave a lot to be desired, in fact, we currently have none.
The proposed project would see the existing hall extended to create a covered indoor/outdoor dining area and servery, overlooking the cricket ground to provide facilities for use by the whole community, and importantly for us, clubhouse facilities for the Cricket Club. This is therefore a very important project for the development and future of the Ashbourne Cricket Club. See attached image of the current dilapidated 3m x 3m facility that we use as our clubhouse facilities. Anyone who has played at Ashbourne in the last 25 years would confirm that improved facilities are required.
We would be extremely grateful if you could promote this to your clubs and associations so that in the spirit of cricket, they can give us the much needed support we require to secure the funding for the project and improve our facilities.
All people need to do is vote for the project before Monday 20 November. Here’s how to vote:
1. Log in or register on the Fund My Neighbourhood website. You will need your phone handy (you’ll be sent a four-digit code to enter on the website).
2. Choose your location by dropping a pin on the map, or typing in your street address. (Ashbourne)
3. Once you have chosen your location, you will be able to see projects that you can vote for.

Thank you for your assistance with this venture as we need as many votes as possible to secure the funding to provide desperately needed club room facilities for players and supporters at Ashbourne Oval, and for the wider Ashbourne Community.
