![]() Moderator 11924 forum posts 1531 photos | Just received a pdf club bulletin no 221 and don't know how to post them Full Council meeting on May 16th Item 7 on agenda reads: To receive a joint report from the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer to include the following: (a) Update on the National Centre feasibility study, presented by Manny Williamson. (b) Proposal from the Chairman that Council endorses the actions agreed upon unanimously by the BMFA Executive Committee on 11th April to make all relevant planning and change of use searches while concurrently contacting the selling agent of Laws Lawn Farm in East Northamptonshire in order to open negotiations on making an offer to purchase (subject to contract) the said property. Can anyone tell me what this is about please. John |

![]() 883 forum posts 20 photos | At £1.25m and with a BMFA membership of approx 30,000, that works out around £40 a head ... Could do with a donation from an altruistic lottery winner ... I wonder when the membership will be told about this? ... because I'm sure that not all BMFA members are active on this forum and therefore wouldn't know about this. |

When the begging bowl comes around. I'm in favour of the National Centre idea, but slipping out the intention of ........... "contacting the selling agent of Laws Lawn Farm in East Northamptonshire in order to open negotiations on making an offer to purchase (subject to contract) the said property" in a club bulletin, appears to be a good way of upsetting people. Why now before the results of the feasibility study have even been released? Very odd. |

Some saving could be made by moving the HQ function to the dilapidated buildings though

![]() 5151 forum posts 3761 photos | I think that it is great and I hope it goes well. Looks big enough to hold the RC and CL Nats although not sure what access would be like I suspect that a loan/mortgage will be taken out say - payable over 25 years - that will reduce the burden on the membership. Its low risk as land prices will always rise. The biggest risk is that planning permission is granted for housing within a mile or so and the site gets a noise embargo Martyn |
