		+
		+	The good news is that work has started with old toilets, showers, walls etc. having been taken out. Most of the work, so far, has been done voluntarily by work parties who started after Christmas and have continued most weekends. My thanks go to Bob, Nigel, Chris, Duncan, Colin, James, Kevin and anyone else who has helped us get off to a great start. The more that we can get done voluntarily, the further we can make our money stretch to ensure that we finish within budget!
		+
		+	On that note fundraising is still on- going with an Indoor Car Boot, the Christmas Quiz at The Black Horse which raised £110 (thanks), and with Village Day just round the corner there will be plenty of Draw tickets to sell!
		+
		+	The move of Windmill Under 5’s to the Sports Club will mean that the Sports Club becomes viable and that the club house will be cared for and used so that its existence is saved. There is also the bonus of our Village regaining an important assePaviliont of its playschool, saving the use of cars every day to take our children to and from Hampden. Anyone who has had any connections with either the Sports Club or Windmills whether it be past, present or future and may feel that they could donate either time or money, it will be gratefully received and help reduce my stress levels!

		+	As many of you will already know our Village playgroup, [[Windmills Under Fives]], is based at Hampden at present. The aim has always been to get back into the Village with the obvious location being the Sports Club, as it is right next to the school, near the church and has lots of open space.
		+
		+	The Sports Club needs considerable work doing to it, not only to ensure that it is up to the standards required by OFSTED, but also from a practical point of view: storage for the playschool, hygienic showers for the Sports Club, cost-effective heating etc.

		+	'''March 2006''' Letter to Lacey Green and Loosey Row Sports Club from [https://laceygreenhistory.com/w/index.php/Joan_West Joan West]
		+
		+	'''Copies to All Committee members, Trevor Taylor (auditor) and Robert Dell (treasurer of the Cricket Club)'''.
		+
		+	To all it may Concern
		+
		+	Because I propose to stand down as President at the end of this financial year I am taking this opportunity to enclose a summary of the past procedures in running the club. These can be changed at the AGM provided advance notice is given. This summary is derived from personal knowledge, also the minute books and documents which I currently store. Perhaps these should now have a new home. The Constitution is the governing structure which covers legal aspects of the club and stands over all. I intend to be at the meeting on the 16th and any corrections or questions can be dealt with before giving a copy to the Auditor, who has requested much of this information.
		+
		+	I have been told that the Main Committee should "stand up and be counted".
		+
		+	In response I would stress that two most important members of the committee in my view are the section representatives, who have been noticeable by their absence. Without their input neither the Committee nor the Sections know what the Club is doing nor where it is heading. The Section Reports have even slipped off the agenda. I feel somewhat to blame as when reading through the minutes I failed to notice this and the newer committee members, whose presence is most gratifying, could hardly be expected to.
		+
		+	I have also been told again that the sections do not support each others' functions. This is a 'hardy perennial' and more knowledge of what is going on should help. It has even applied when the Main Committee has an 'All Club' fund raising event, Village Day being an example of a great opportunity lost. Criticism unless constructive will get us nowhere. Co-operation must be the key. This is what I have worked for and at a quick glance seem to have signally failed. However having said that, I do see the Club on a better financial base, despite the debts - so I do feel more optimistic regarding that.
		+
		+	The villages must not lose this wonderful facility. I know it is in good hands and I wish you every success in going from strength to strength.
		+
		+	Yours sincerely Joan West.
