We are pleased to report the following progress has since been made:
Sponsorship Focus: Following the incredible efforts of a small group of volunteers the club has received pledges for sponsorship of over £30,000, of which over £20,000 has already been received.

Communications Improvements: The club has renamed the Social Media & Press Committee to the "Communications & Public Relations Committee" and will be inviting the new chairperson of this committee to the Management Committee

To Promote "Our Club" Culture: The club has created a new Volunteer Sub-Committee, and will be inviting the new chairperson of this committee to the Management Committee

Financial Management: A small group of financial experts acting as volunteers have completed a review of the clubs financial and commercial position and are now developing a series of recommendations made to the committee in June.

Legal Support: A club volunteer has stepped forward to assist with legal advice relating to considerations as to whether the club should become an incorporated body.

Lottery: Members are now able to join a Club Lottery (which was in fact already in formation by volunteers prior to the meeting!)
