Firstly, I'm thankful to everyone that rallied around behind the scenes to get the ball rolling on the new shack radio.
Having the fund, and seeing the graphic totalizer on the website really does help to focus people's minds on what's required, to generate healthy discussion about the club shack itself, as well as elevating club ambitions in general.
We should hear from Burgess Hill Town Council this month (October) as to whether we have been successful in our grant application, and I have absolutely no insight into how that might go, so we can only be hopeful. Applications are open twice a year, and I will keep submitting applications in support of our various contributions to the local community now the club is growing again and pushing forward on all fronts.
What I would like to express in particular is my gratitude for the donations that have already come into the club to fund a new radio. I'm not privy to the details of individual donations, but I do know that the majority of the truly active members have contributed, and that's heart-warming. Whilst that spirit is alive and well in the club, we'll do OK.
If you haven't donated yet, then please consider it. We have even had sizeable donations from more than one non-member. Amazing.
Watch this space for further updates out of the committee meeting this evening, and get yourself down the clubhouse tomorrow night if you want to see something a bit special happening. Things are really moving quickly now.
