We're into the New Year now and we have less than three months to raise the funds to pay for our air fence. Of course, hopefully, we have the final pot of gold awaiting us at season opener against Glasgow on 28th March but we have a couple of other fund raisers now reaching the end of planning and we hope to launch these within the next fortnight.

In addition to our own plans we'd still like to support anyone else who has an idea that could be put in place and carried through to fruition by the end of March. We'd be happy to hear from you.

We still have one air fence panel available for sponsorship and in fact we have three more now available. Why's that? Well we've confirmed with the manufacturer that, in addition to the thirty three forming the air barrier, we will have three more on standby in case we have any burst bags. So that's four of our air bags looking for sponsors now.

Despite the festive period the last seven days have been good for fundraising and the Fund now stands at £12100.33. We're 60% there now so once again, thanks to everyone who has helped. It's been a marvellous effort in less than three months.
