This has helped to boost our community match funding to £16,339 against the target of £20,000, so a big thank you to the Lions.

The site has also been updated with the news that our Design Competition Tender was published on-line yesterday. Skatepark Contractors are invited to register to bid through "The Chest", which is the North West's Local Authority Procurement Portal.

The Skatepark Project page on the Friends' web site has been updated with news of the latest funding contribution from The Marple Tavern and Woodstock Pizza. This continues on from the support from Woodstock Pizza, who work out of The Marple Tavern, during last year's Carnival. Look out for more news of the Cycling Event being organised by The Marple Tavern, Woodstock Pizza and Recon-Cycles during the summer. More details will be posted as soon as they are available.

The page is also updated with news of a donation to Friends of Memorial Park from M.E.S.S., which has also boosted the Skatepark Project match-funding. 

Thank you Woodstock Pizza, The Marple Tavern and M.E.S.S. for your support!

The Skatepark Project page on the Friends' web site has been updated with news of the latest funding contribution from Marple Civic Society and also from William Wragg, Prospective Conservative MP for Hazel Grove.

These donations aren't linked, they've simply arrived at the same time.

Thank you to the Civic Society for their long-term ongoing support of the project and to William for a donation that may also inspire others!

The Skatepark Project page on the Friends' web site has been updated to acknowledge the recent donation of £100 from The Brass Bands of Marple and also a personal donation from Sue Emery, secretary of The Charles Ingham Bandroom Fund, which amounts to £117.50 after Gift-Aid. A very big thank you to Sue and the bands for boosting our skatepark funds.

The page has also been updated to explain that following our community fund-raising success over the last 12 months Stockport Council has reserved £22,000 from local commuted sums (section 106 agreements) for Marple Memorial Skate Park Development Project with the proviso that a bid to the Veolia Environmental Trust is successful. If it is successful then this money will cover the independent contribution needed to cover land taxes (approx £10K) and also boost our total match-funding. This will reduce the amount of money that we need to ask for, or possibly allow us to construct a better skatepark.

Thank you SMBC for recognising and supporting our efforts!
