Following the approval of Section 106 funding of £22k from Horsham District Council, £10k from West Sussex County Council regarding their Members Big Society Fund, and £75k from Sport England, subject to Partner Funding from the RFU being agreed, which is expected to be confirmed by January 2016, our fundraising for the new Changing Rooms has now reached £165k. Credit must go to Bob Essex for his hard work with putting these successful grant applications together.

We expect to hear from the RFU before the end of the year regarding what grant and loan support they can provide.

We are now putting together a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire before going out to tender, hopefully in November, with the intention of commencing the build in the second quarter of 2016.

Please support the latest fundraising campaign being lead by Paul Birch to assist with the provision of better facilities for our current and future players.
