Don’t worry. We’re not going to ask you to take over as leaders and put a uniform on (unless you want to). It’s much simpler than that.
We need about 5 minutes of your time.
As you probably know by now, we have very kindly been given access to a field and some woodland just outside of Melsonby. We hope to use this a lot more in the near future, both on regular meeting nights and for camps. The site is good enough for us to start camping there pretty immediately but there are a couple of things we need to make it comfortable for us. Namely, a water supply onto site and a semi-permanent toilet block.
These things don’t come for free, but don’t panic, we’re not going to raise subs or demand you make any more donations. Instead we have applied for a grant to cover this.
Calor (the gas people) have a Rural Community Fund which will provide grants to communities and we have applied for one. We have been accepted into the first phase, but this is where you come in.
We need votes!
There are many other communities applying for funding – more than the fund will cover – so Calor put it to the public vote. This is where you come in.
If you could spare the 5 minutes it takes to visit the Calor Community Fund Website and register to vote, you will be given ten votes to use as you wish. Obviously the best thing you could do for us it use all 10 votes for Barton.
Voting closes on June 17th, so please don’t hang around. Remember, this is 10 votes per individual, not per family, so make sure that everyone, including Grandma, Uncle John and Spot the Dog get their say and get us our funding.
What are you still doing here? VOTE!
