Campaign to
replace Heat Pump launched
With the current heat pump
nearing it's 30th birthday we have decided to look into buying a
replacement to avoid having potential breakdowns next season. It would be
a terrible loss to our village and local area if yet another community
outdoor pool has to close for ever.
A new heat pump costs in the region
of £15,000 and so we are launching a fundraising campaign for £7,500
to match funding we already have. We will be looking out for possible
grant money but as well we would like to ask for your help in supporting
various fundraising events we have planned for the next 6 months. So if
you have any ideas or could help in any way then please get in touch. And
watch this space for more info.......
