Club aiming to win £10k filming prize

CHASETOWN FC is brushing up on its directing skills in a bid to win £10,000 to put towards improving facilities at the club.

Courtesy of new Northern League sponsors Evo-Stik and leading builders' merchant, Travis Perkins, clubs in the Evo-Stik League can bag a £10,000 voucher for materials to upgrade club facilities.

The competition is asking clubs in the league to prove on film, in no more than three minutes, why their club deserves to win the prize, as well as capturing the essence of non-league football.

Chasetown chairman John Donnelly said: "Chasetown is throwing everything including the kitchen sink into winning this competition and is encouraging any of our supporters who have winning suggestions or filming tips to come forward.

"Evo-Stik is encouraging creativity, humour and artistic license, so how we present our entry is completely down to us.

"Improving facilities at the club for both players and fans is always top of the agenda, but is often cost-prohibitive so we are grabbing this opportunity from Evo-Stik with both hands.

"Our players, fans and volunteers demonstrate passion for the club and the non-league game week in, week out and to win this investment for them would be just fantastic."

Chasetown has until September 30 to create a masterpiece worthy of the £10k prize.
