School Saved

Contrary to my good friend Kershaw's assertions to the contrary, Monday nights are not Gay. Monday nights are for heroes. Since I turned the radiator off outside the room the temperature is vastly better. Clean up efforts over the weekend have made the place look a lot better, and perhaps those results have borne fruit already - someone gave the council the tour of the facility on Monday lunchtime, and from a text Nic sent Paul - it appears we are off the market for another year. Truly fantastic news.

Just read the email from Nic, its maybe sorted us for a year but what the council are proposing (for us, the tennants to buy the bulding) is so unlikely....at least we're sorted for a little longer though.

Come on, it was only ever going to be a temporary stay of execution. People (councils especially) don't do things for free, never mind at a cost to them. The only options they are ever going to offer will involve them recouping some money, which will mean massive outlay from us.

If this seems bleak, consider that people whinge about non-members using the school when we pay £80 a year. Well out there people are paying us £35,000 in council tax for no return, what's the difference?

This is great news nonetheless, and it would be wonderful to see things remain as they used to be, but in the long run I think we still need to accept that the place is gonna close :-(

you are of course, correct. However, have a look at the other mail from nic which I posted yesterday. Perhaps we might move??? anyway, its some time in the bank to get those projects ticked off.
