The club also have a wonderful initiative called Club Boot Recycling Scheme. They realise how quickly children’s feet grow and that buying new boots can be very expensive for parents. Within this scheme players can donate their old boots which they have outgrown and can drop them off at the dressing rooms. These boots need to be in good condition when they are being donated. Other club members can then take a pair of this preowned boots free of charge. This is a brilliant scheme and a fantastic way to save money.
