Project Update - November 2011

You may have read in the local press recently that our fundraising efforts have now got us to the grand total of £150,000!!! This means that we are now able to go out to tender (ie ask the leading skatepark companies to submit their designs for Stamford).

So we've now done that and we hope to have these designs back within the next couple of weeks for us to select the best!! Exciting stuff, eh???

It's been a hard slog over the last 3 and a half years but we're getting really close now. If it all goes to plan we should have the 'park built by next summer...!
