UPDATE

We are pleased to announce that the £6,000 we need for the emergency roof repair, has been kindly donated by our local councillors. We are very grateful for this extremely generous contribution. With this money the works are due to start on Monday 1st February.

Now that this a weight of our minds, we are now raising funds for the new ceiling tiles, which were damaged due to the leaks. The money already kindly given to the JustGiving page, will now be used for this project. We need to rasie £3,000 for the work to be carried out and would be grateful for any help you can give.

Information.

Over the last 10 months we have been hit hard, due to Covid-19. During this time the Club has been closed for 6 months, which is increasing over the next few months. This has had a major financial impact on the Club. It has also had a social impact on our members and guests.

To help the Club survive, the Committee worked hard in the background, learning new procedures that we had not come across before. This included furloughing staff, applying for all available grants, reducing unnecessary out-goings and anything else we could do to help the Club.

Before re-opening in July 2020 we were dealt another blow, as the main hall had been flooded and the carpet ruined. However, we turned this to our advantage, as you are aware the Club was desperately in need of a new carpet. This was our ideal chance to bring the Club into the 21st century.

The make-over began with the redecoration of the pool room and moving onto the main hall. The feedback has been amazing. We are pleased to announce that after a long wait, the new carpet has been fitted. As you can see from the photo it really is a huge transformation.

UNFORTUNATELY, after attending the Club recently, the roof can take no more. There are many leaks, which if left unrepaired it would force the Club to close. We have managed to contain the water, with buckets to try to save the Club and all of the hard work that we achieved.

As the cost of the repair is beyond our means, we are reaching out to our members and local community to help save the Club. It would be a shame that after the redecoration, we would not be able to enjoy this with our friends and families.

The Committee is asking for help with the cost of a new roof. We would be grateful for any donations you are able to give.

We look forward to welcoming you all back as soon as we are permitted to.

Many Thanks

The Committee
