We want update you on the situation regarding the Village Ground. We have been in consultation with Insurance Companies to get an acceptable offer, their initial offers/ proposals were rejected by ourselves and that is why it has taken so long. After many pro-longed meetings/e mails and even old-fashioned telephone calls then we have now reached an agreement with both insurance companies. In round numbers then the club will receive approx. £155k (approx. as we just need to sort the excess from the 3 claims).
The development planning will now begin to secure the future of Billingham Juniors and our home ground. We have had initial consultation with The Football Foundation, Durham County FA and a Facility Developer. The club is pulling together ideas and a wish list of the important things we need to run the site whilst ensuring the full site is improved.
We will need to raise a considerable amount money as our part of the project funding, the insurance monies along with the "Go-Fund Me" monies will give us a good start, we are expecting that we will need to raise 1/3rd of overall costing.
If you have further questions or thoughts then please don’t hesitate to contact me (details below)
Thanks again and enjoy your summer.
