At last - action!

Ok, so I'm not the quickest at keeping this site going, but to be honest there's been little action to report. There has been a significant amount going on behind the scenes and as we speak, the site has been cleared and the footings are in ready for a structure to be 'dropped in' to the site.

A total of £10,894.52 has been donated to the fundraising account. We have decided to close this account and place it all in the official 6th Redcar bank account in order for the Group to be able to pay the bills coming in for the new building.

Thankyou to all who contibuted personally or who, through other contacts, were able to help.

As the picture shows, the Rugby Club have fenced off the rugby field and railway sides. What isn't shown is the driveway and the obvious difficulty the site clearance vehicles had in accessing the site. The old gateway had to be removed (with the original plaque saved) as did the hedge on the rugby field side.

The new building will be similar in size to the old one - I'll post photos as soon as I can.

Help needed!
The water and electricity boards have hit us with an unanticipated additional cost. Another £5000 is needed to locate and connect their services. Although the fundraising and insurance money covered the work to date and the installation of the new building there is currently not enough in the bank to cover this extra expense. We plan to do some of the work ourselves and dig a trench to locate the old services, then if the water pipes are still the old lead type, dig a trench to the edge of the property. We also need to build a brick structure to house the elctricity connection and meter.

If you can help with a load of bricks, mortar or sand or can give some time, probably in the next few weeks, then let me know. If you also fancy running another fundraising effort or know of a source of funding then also please let me know.

See you all soon!!
