Development update

While the intention had been that redevelopment would commence after the New Year break, this has proved impossible to achieve.

In case you were unable to be there, the conclusion of the SGM was a vote for Option 3, which was the development subcommittee’s recommendation. 

In his capacity of Treasurer, Jim Kerr said that he did not want the club to pursue Option 3 as, in his view, this gave considerable risk to the club as was would involve considerable borrowing which the club would require to finance through subscriptions and other  income. 

He also foresaw difficulties in getting the Bowlers to agree to this - they would need to do so if we were to secure borrowing on the joint land. 

The decision to proceed with option 3 was with the caveat that the main committee and the development subcommittee had to be satisfied that this was prudent and the requirement to revert to a further SGM with costs.

The current position is that the building warrant has been applied for and quotes for the work required will be sought.  If the likely costs are considered too high, the main committee may decide that some curtailed development may be the best route forward.
