The proposed final cost was around smaller than a re-build, but the total £400,000, which was not affordable - cost will also be very much less. even with the grants we were able to negotiate.

  • Read All My Columns Here
    PARTY POOPER – Published 8th February 2018 My two daughters were born in the same day but two years apart (Don’t ask!) and recently celebrated their 18th and 20th birthdays and naturally asked if they could have a party. All my wife and I had to do was finance the celebrations and find a suitable venue. Well, had they wanted a marquee made of gold leaf on the moon, with dinosaurs for bar staff and ABBA to re-form and provide the dance music, that would have been easy compared to trying to find a local venue willing to host a joint 18th and 20th birthday party. Most places I contacted responded with an enthusiastic ‘Yes’ to my initial request, but changed tune when I mentioned the age range. Apparently, over the last few years, opening ones doors to allow the merriments of this young age range is tantamount to flinging wide the gates of Hades. I did inform the many locations I rang, that there would be adult supervision and that although my two lovelies have their moments, they weren’t the spawn of Beelzebub and like many youngsters of that age certainly knew how to party without turning the celebrations into an incident. Unfortunately, proprietors told their stories of never again parties and I soon understood their hesitancies. Most were one-off disasters but enough to make them think twice about ever offering their hospitality again. It made me sad to think that anyone of that age wishing to enjoy a party away from home with a sense of responsibility was now unfairly tarred with the same brush.

  • Fleet & Crookham Athletic Club
    Fleet & Crookham Athletic Club Monthly Update – October 2014 Hi All, That’s it – the dark evenings are now upon us. No more running in the evening sunlight across the army training area – but it doesn’t necessarily mean no more running across the area. Bob will be leading some “head torch” runs and the first one will be this coming Thursday. A head torch is a must and you must also remember that there is an increased risk with running off-road in the dark. You do need to have your torch angled correctly so you can see where you are going – watch out for the roots and be careful. Another important thing to remember now our clubs runs are in the dark is that is it vital to wear reflective running gear. On a club night run all members must wear high viz t-shirts or long sleeved tops or alternatively a running jacket with high viz tape on it or a reflective running bib. I do have a stock of the club running bibs – these cost £8.40 each so please just catch me on a club night if you want one. The cross country season starts this coming weekend and we hope lots of members venture out either at Farley Mount, near Winchester on Saturday or Pamber Heath, near Basingstoke on Sunday. For those new or returning to cross country, the Sunday league is the best one to aim for. More on the benefits of cross country running later in the comms. October is also a special month for the club as we are hosting the annual Fleet 10km.
