The granting of planning permission in December 2025 marked a significant step in the process of developing a new pavilion at the Station Ground.
However, the hard work really starts now asthe club needs to source considerable funding in order to make the dream a reality.
A new working group, capital funding strategy and business plan are being developed and planning conditions are being worked on.
Whilst final figures have not been determined the estimated cost of the project is in the region of £500,000 with over £5,000 having already been spent on planning submission requirements.
The club are incredibly grateful to Andrew Foster and his charity, The Speranza Trust, who have recently donated £10,000 towards the project. This generous contribution is a very welcome boost to the existing club pot.
