What ideas do you have for paying off the rest of the debt on the purchase of Kingsmeadow?
Keep the share issue open and facilitate an initiative for sharesave – so that members can pay small regular amounts into the Trust bank account ie: £10 a month and when they reach £90.00 they can then purchase shares. Increase the revenue by hiring the facilities (not the pitch) at Kingsmeadow. |

No |
