All-Weather Pitch Update

All-Weather Pitch Update
I am delighted to let you know that our bid for a grant of Community Infrastructure Funding from Cotswold District Council has been successful. We have been awarded over £700,000! This, alongside all the fundraising and community support, means that we are in touching distance of the dream becoming a reality. We are so grateful for all the support received from CDC and the local sports clubs and wider community to enable us to reach this point so quickly in just a year from starting the project.
More updates can be found on the project website here. [

) We are looking to submit the planning application this month and hope to be able to commence building it later this year. We are still raising money for the spectator stand and equipment we will need, so all donations are welcome and there is a link on the website if you are able to support this.
The Pitch will be a game-changer not only for our students, but also for Fairford Youth Football Club and Fairford Rugby Club, who are our partners in this project. There will also be community use, so if you have a team or group of club that is currently short of facilities, do get in touch with me: ewhite@farmors.gloucs.sch.uk
