The local football club Radstock FC finished up their season early, which has created a lot of financial hardship for The Miners.

They are also trying to make sure that people keep of the re-seeded pitch, working on the basis that that they will be able to resume play and the grass needs to be in good enough condition to do so.

They have a crowdfunder which is in need of some boosts. You can donate, no matter how little, here:
