Here is the first of a series of regular updates on the new Changing Rooms.

Due to affordability we are now seeking to build three new Changing Rooms with their own en-suite shower facilities and toilets plus a referees changing room, a plant room, a store room and a separate toilet to RFU specifications. We have a target cost ceiling of £400k plus VAT and we are about to enter a further process of seeking the most competitive contractor to undertake the work.

Following the approval of Section 106 funding of £38k from Horsham District Council, £12,500 from West Sussex County Council, £75k from Sport England, £60k from the RFU and a £100k loan from the RFF, subject to formalities, our fundraising for the new Changing Rooms has now reached £355k. Credit must go to Bob Essex for his hard work with putting these successful grant applications together.

The balance of funding will come from continued sponsorship, donations and fundraising as well as a members loan note scheme which will be launched shortly.

The latest approximate timescale is for the work to commence in July 2016 and to be completed by November 2016.

Thank you to everyone who has generously made donations or who has participated in one of the many fundraising initiatives that have been taking place.

Finally it would help if everyone could complete the Survey Monkey link which was sent out to all club members last week.
