The new Clubhouse will be 30
metres long by 17.5 metres wide which means it
will cover the area at present, housing the shower,
bar container, foundations of burnt out changing
rooms and the car park area between those buildings.
It will have six team dressing rooms, each approx
8 metres by 4 metres with its own toilets, showers
and room for 14 players.
The dressings rooms are planned in pairs in order
to permit use by males or female for matches kicking
off at the same time. There will also be two smaller
dressing rooms complete with toilets and showers
for male and female officials.
The other half of the building will consist of
bar and kitchens, a lounge area similar to the
one we had in the old building plus a committee
room which may be opened to extend the lounge area.
The cost of the development is
set at £603,000 but in addition we have to put
in place car parking and landscaping of the ground
at a cost of £79,810 and a further £81,900 for
professional fees which gives a total cost of £764,710
Football Foundation Charity have agreed to grant
us £591,142 towards the costs subject to a number
of conditions, Richmond Parish Lands Charity a
further £9,842 and Hampton Fuel Allottments a further
£5,000. We are hoping to obtain Environmental
Grant of £4,000 and have made an application to
another Grant body for £41,000. If we are successful
that will give us £651,000.
We have been promised or have already
received sponsorship of £31,000 and have already
raised ourselves a further £38,000. We anticipate
receiving CASC accreditation shortly which means
we can reclaim tax on gifts and sponsorship and
we believe that will be worth £10,000 to us and
we have fund raising activities in the pipeline
which we believe will add another £5,000 bringing
the total available to £735,000.
This
leaves us with a shortfall of £29,700 provided
we keep within our targets and Greene King have
offered us a £20,000 loan repayable over barrellage
and we have another £10,000 of loans on offer.
We
believe we will be able to meet the costs when
completed but it would be better if we could raise
the money to cover those loans so it is down to
us all to support every fund raising opportunity
as it could make our future match fees easier.
On behalf of the Board of Kew and Ham Sports Association
Limited, thank you all for your support to date
and please continue to help us reach OUR DREAM.
