Save the EHSS Club
Donation protected
As many of you know, the Earl Haig Sports & Social Club in Horley, suffered a fire on 15th May. The probable cause was in the electrical system, but because of the intensity of the fire the inspectors have said that it’s impossible to know for sure. The fire destroyed the roof and caused extensive damage to the club.
The building was not insured against fire due to the archaic electrical system, which had been in place for many years. Funding will enable us to completely overhaul this, creating a safe and durable future for the club, also rendering it fully insurable.
The building itself is 104 years old and was donated to the people of Horley in 1916 by Earl Haig, who specified that the club can never be sold. To this day it is still owned by the community. It was formerly held by the British Legion for over 78 years and is still used regularly by them especially as a venue for their Remembrance Day service.
Despite the seriousness of the fire, we are determined to restore this 104-year-old community building and valuable loacal social amedity.
If you wish offer a donation (however large or small) please visit our gofundme page. Funds will be used to install a new roof, new electrical system and to reinstate the bar areas.
