The Nelson College Old Boys Association has committed to upgrading the college’s Front Field. As many of you are aware, the field becomes almost unplayable in winter due to the existing drainage not working.
The Front Field is the showpiece and defining feature of the College grounds. We want a field that we are proud of and that is easily maintained.
We are excited to be taking on this major undertaking and we need your help to raise the necessary funds, alongside the grants we will receive from charitable foundations.
This is your chance to invest in the future of your college. We are giving you the opportunity to “Adopt a Square” on the Front Field. A typical rugby field has around 8,750 square metres, which, at $20 per Square, will reach our goal of $185,000. And then there's a maintenance goal.
With your help as an Adopter, we know we can meet this target. We have committed to the Headmaster and Board of Trustees that this upgrade will be completed at no cost to the college.
