Whenever a group of people and families are living with sports in their lives they are constantly in and out of the club house facilities!
Water is constantly in use in these scenarios. Cleaning, the kitchen, making cups of tea, making soup from the vegetables out of the club vegetable patches.
Players are showering after games. Muddy boots are being hosed down… people are wet and hungry and frankly at times genuinely physically exhausted.
If you don’t have ready access toh ot water it can be one of the most incomfortable thing for fatugued players to clean themselves with cold water. Additionally this experience is totally and completely altered by he adition of free flowing hot lovely water to clean and relax sore bodies after a tough shift on the ptich!
One of the best ways to deal with this issue of having hot water on demand is to install a for function hot water system.
Companies have actually designed systems and ranges that can even cope with olympic sized heated swimming ppols. As you can imagine heating and circulating hot water for cleaning purposes requires a lot of hot water! Thats the type of system that clubs will do fundraisers for so the the club facilities can enjoy on demand hot water and in fact actrually cooled waster if needed.
Not onl;y this but in the UK as with many countries the use of electricity and various means to heat water is beginning to be assed from a catrbon foot print perspective. Be careful to get the full benefits that this procides for your club. With the right system you will be inside the carbon control limits. You can also with these more efficient and environmentally friendly systems actually get additionally financial savings. The increased efficiency can lead to cash savings. Clubs have been asked and peiople are talking abou thre possibility under certyain circumstances of reducing the water heating bill by 20%! What can that 20% be used for! Extra facilities…
As with all things we recommend thorough and extensive research! Be sure thaty you have fuilly researched what is available for you out there and to be sure to go through all the club protocfols in terms of hardware sourcing.
Get to grips with the data and drill into the potwential for savings for you club. Is there a governement support scheme for sports clubs in your area… will they offer incentive and grants to help wioth the pruchase of equuipment they approve.
Once you have chosen the right product range then you can begin the process of finalising the fundraising and even having dinners at the club means this project could lead to a very much increased social calendar at the club!
It always remains inspirational to use how people can work tyogether and acheive so much! The memory and bonds developed by being [proactive, communicating and acheiving goals also adds to an overall positive expereince for everyone involved.
Bery, very best wishes!
