The Sports Association have been given a boost to their fundraising with a donation from local firm Siltbuster which has paid for a much-needed floor cleaner.

Terry Cleaves, President of the association explained that the floor cleaner was a much needed item for the refurbished pavilion.

“The more use the pavilion is getting, the more use we have for a floor cleaner and we are very grateful to Siltbuster for sponsoring it. It makes the job a lot easier and quicker in turning around the building between events and it does a good job, better than a dustpan and brush!”

Richard Matthews, CEO of Siltbuster said:"As a business well rooted in the area, we are pleased to support local organisations, like Monmouth Sports Association".

The association of sports group were given a Sport Wales grant from the Welsh Government towards the refurbishment of the sports pavilion on Chippenham and recent town council funding has allowed the group to install a television and trophy case in the main function room,

Monmouth Sports Association is constituted from Football, Rugby, Cricket, Tennis and Bowls clubs and is run by a group of committed volunteers from those clubs. The Association is determined to improve the facilities available to the participants of their member clubs, visiting teams and guests, as well as making it available to the broader community.

The Association has held the lease on Monmouth Sports Ground since 1987, and since then has been responsible for the maintenance and management of the Pavilion.
