With clubhouses up and down the country forced to close as a result of the covid-19 pandemic, clubs are getting creative to in order to keep funds coming in.
Camp Hill Rugby Club came up with the genius idea of selling virtual drinks and snacks on their club website. Clubs such as Hook Norton FC have since followed suit in an attempt to raise funds.
From lagers and spirits to soft drinks and snacks adding a 24/7 bar provides a fantastic way for members to put their hand into their pocket and keep the club ticking over.
Although your customers won't get to enjoy an alcoholic beverage, they'll be safe in the knowledge that they have helped out your club during these testing times.
TOP TIP: If you did want to build on the idea, try changing virtual drinks into redeemable tokens which can be used once coronavirus restrictions loosen and normality returns!
