The ground floor of our new Training Centre is now finished and from Monday will be available for everybody to use; so no more having to make do with tiny showers, dirty changing rooms and constantly breaking toilets. Our new facilities have plenty of room, are sparkly clean and all round are very beautiful indeed - we couldn't be prouder of this new very valuable resource.

Fundraising continues for the money necesary to complete the top floor and provide us with some rather stunning training rooms, as well as things like lockers and benches for the ground floor. With my fingers tightly crossed I am hopeful we might achieve this by next summer.

Once the Training Centre is complete we will turn our attentions to the other areas that need updating, the carpark being the most urgent and updating our infrastructure. It will be a chilly winter for the staff as in order to power the new block we lose heating in the other buildings - the cost to increase our gas supply is outrageous! We would also like to build a youth centre, with club rooms for our growing youth club, rowing and kayaking clubs and a boardwalk so that our rowers and marathon kayakers have a more pleasant journey from the boat racks to the pontoons. The final piece of the jigsaw will be to update all the paths and build a floating accommodation block - but doubt this will all be done by next summer! We will aim to complete the Training Centre though.

Let's hope we can raise the £60k we need to complete the building by then!

To complete the building we need:

£10,000 for the floor

£20,000 for internal walls

£20,000 for heating

£10,000 for furniture
