Bucs get massive boost
Chorley Buccaneers have received a massive finacial boost to the club from their devoted sponsor blindsmadeeasy.co.uk. The company has agreed to give the club £1200 a year to help the club keep a healthy bank account and pay for their new training venue of Southlands High School.
The club which is now in it's 7th year of running and is one of the UK's longest running junior american football clubs, has seen clubs like themselves competing one year and then disperse the year after due to lack of money going into the club. "This is a great boost for our club and will really help us to keep going strong for many years to come" Club Manager Ian Nicolson said.
"With our new training venue this year costing us a lot more, it is great to know that we will have fund to pay for it and then funds left to pay for other expenses."
Visit www.blindsmadeeasy.co.uk for low cost and great quality made to measure window blinds.
The Bucs are always looking for players from 7 - 18 and for other sponsors to help keep the club growing. Contact Club Manager Ian Nicolson either by phoning 07809 103647 or email him at ian@chorleybuccaneers.com

Bucs in the Chorley Guardian
The Chorley Buccaneers were in this weeks (20th Feb) Chorley Guardian thanks to Coach Lee Taylor. Coach Taylor who had read an article from a new sports reporter for the Guardian who was asking for people who or involved in different sports other than the likes of Rugby, Soccer (to me anyway) etc.
Coach Taylor made contact with Robert Kelly the reporter and gave some information about the Bucs and the results can be seen in the paper and online. "This is some much needed press" said Club Manager Ian Nicolson, "thanks to Coach Taylor for taking the time to speak to Robert who then came down to take some pictures of the Bucs, and who has also said that he would like to do more reports on us. As we are trying to set a Youth Flag Team up as well, then this couldn't of come at a better time."
Though a couple of minor mistakes are made in the article, it's still great to see our club in the local paper in which we can only will bring us more players. The article has already had someone conctact Ian who is interested in trying to get involved in coaching at the Bucs. If you would like to read the online article then click the link below:

Bucs Happy With New Home
This year the Chorley Buccaneers have moved their training location from Holy Cross to Southlands High School and they couldn't be happier there. With Changing rooms, Hard Court and a astro turf all available as well as the rugby pitch they train on, it feels to the Bucs as if their christmas's have all come at once.
"It is a great move for the Club, and it definately shows that all the work the backroom staff put in during the off season pays off." Club Manager Ian Nicolson said. "The fact that if the rugby pitch isn't in a good condition to train on due to bad weather doesn't matter anymore. We now have 2 other options to enable us to carry on training and minimize the chances of our players getting injured."
