Rescue Update - 28th October

A packed Camstead Suite listened to presentations by the committee who have been working round the clock to understand the club's financial position and put together a credible plan that will allow the club to continue. The Cambridge News report of the meeting is here. Importantly members were given an overview of the trading position projected for the seasons ahead and how if that is realised the club can function and pay off its debts. Its needs a massive commitment of cash now, we are half-way there, we need more pledges of money to Mills and Reeve now! Donation forms can be downloaded here.

Steve Bowller made a passionate appeal for donations small large or small, every bit helps. He also pointed out that monies that are deposited with Mills and Reeve are safe, and will only be released provided the banks, the RFU, the HMRC and membership believe that the club can deliver the business plan.

Members attending this, and previous meetings should have received a copy of the rescue plan by e-mail.
