AIR FENCE UPDATE

The big news this week is that the first panel of our new air fence has been constructed and, subject to successful delivery, will be on show this week.

The first place that the air fence panel will be on show is at the End of Season video show at the Thomas Morton Hall on Ferry Road on Friday night. It will give supporters who have donated £200 to sponsor a panel their first chance to see the barrier and also their first chance to get close to it.

Although it has been a relatively quiet week in fund raising efforts the balance has continued to rise and we have now reached £9055.83 approximately half way to our final target.

The video night is not, specifically, a fund raiser for the air fence but at the event we will have on sale the 2014 Monarchs calendar priced at £6.50 and Cookie's Year including Cookie's best 12 races DVD priced at £10. As the costs of these two products have now been entirely covered every penny of the selling price will go direct to the air fence fund.

We will also have forms available for anyone who wishes to donate £200 to secure another panel for our barrier.
