We are pleased to announce the opening of our military veterans lounge situated in the Main Stand.
Supported by the Two Tubs public house, a family-run establishment in the heart of Bury Town Centre, the lounge will be used on Saturday match days and once a month as a ‘drop-in centre’.
The Two Tubs landlady Donna Haslam explained “The Borough of Bury has many veterans and the inclusion of them within the community of Bury FC will be an important factor in their on-going welfare.”
Community Officer Casey Lynchey added, “It’s great to see this come to fruition for the veteran community of the town. Working with a wide range of residents is part of the community strategy and I am hopeful that we can also provide some walking football opportunities for the group as well.”
The lounge will officially open at our home match against Pilkington on 2nd November which coincides with the club’s annual remembrance service being held on the same day.
To gain entrance Veterans will need to provide their ID Card to the Hospitality entrance at the ground. Entrance will cost £5.
Each veteran will be given a wristband which will gain them entrance to the Vets Bar, however there is a limited capacity which will be monitored on the day.
