DURRANTS RELOCATION

Report to Members

The turf pitches and running track work on the new facilities at Sandy Lodge started in April and is continuing.

Contractors for the building of the OMT clubhouse and cricket pavilion were appointed in May and are due to start work in mid-June.

The money to pay for the work involved and other costs incurred on the project, including professional fees, continues to be drawn down on a monthly basis out of the “upfront” funds made available by Barratts under their contract with the War Memorial Trustees.

Final completion of the new facilities is still expected during the first quarter of 2011. It is now planned to mark the opening formally on 9 April 2011.

As previously advised, Durrants Club Limited will cease its commercial activities at the end of September 2010 and be wound up. The current DCL board of directors will become an OMT Society Sub-Committee. From 1 October 2010 (still in conjunction with Picasso) they will continue to manage Durrants in the name of the Society as a members club for OMT activities, including those as the home of OMTFC, until April 2011.

Updated reports will continue to be posted on the Society's website
