We now know that the club has a stay of closure until the end of September, and the debt to the Inland Revenue has been reduced to £45,000 with further reductions (hopefully) expected.

A members meeting - to discuss the way forward - has been arranged for Thursday 9th July at 7-00pm.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to be there, but I have asked Will Roberts (A Northern Echo reporter) to attend on my behalf.

Will will (what!?) give me an update by Saturday, and I’ll post it on the blog.

May I just wish everyone concerned, the very best of luck with saving this fine club of ours.
