Fire-hit Berrow Football Club hopes to raise hundreds of pounds
towards the cost of replacing damaged sports equipment when it
holds a fundraising concert and auction.

have gone on sale for the special fundraising night, to be held
on
Saturday January 21st, which comes just weeks after the
devastating fire which destroyed the club's changing rooms.
The
fundraising evening will be held in the Farmers Tavern, Brean
and will start at 7.30 pm and continue until midnight.
Popular
local band Riverbrew - pictured above at the 2004 Under a Summer
Moon Concert in Burnham-On-Sea - will be headlining the event.
Tickets
cost £10 each and are available now from Berrow News or
from club members.

of the successful sports club were shocked when their new changing
rooms in Parsonage Road, Berrow, were badly damaged on November
22nd during a suspected arson attack on the building.
Club
secretary Rachel Dyer recently told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "The
building itself was covered by insurance and will be replaced."
"But
our equipment, such as the white lining machine, corner flags,
training balls, goal nets and bibs were not. We
therefore need to raise all the money we can."
A
fundraising football match is also to be held against Yeovil Town
Over 40s later in 2006 and a calendar
is currently on sale.
