We are planning to replace the reserves benches at Evans Bay Park which are used to keep the reserves of teams under cover at during the winter months. Generally these are used for all home games of Marist St Pats teams as well as St Patrick's College games that are played on Evans Bay from time to time.
Initial costings came in at around $30k for two shelters to house 8-10 players on each side of the field. An in-house design has now been completed by a few MSP members over beers at the “Garage” with input from Sean Horan, Chris Ryan, Jason Loibel, Pat Dunn and others that wanted to chime in on the design. The cost is going to be $10,000 + GST for two shelters so a $20,000 saving for the club. Frames will be fully galvanised painted in club colours and sign written with sponsors or donors names!
We are looking for sponsors / donors to cover the costs and in return there is advertising space on each of the two shelters, which will be for three years (payable in 2024).
