BEECHWOOD REGENERATION REPORT 2017
This year has been another very productive one for the Regeneration Committee. The completion of the new toilet blocks was very swiftly followed by the construction of the new catering facility / memorabilia shop.
Both projects relied on grant funding and BRC are indebted to the Minerals Trust and the Scottish Football Partnership for the financial assistance. Just as important was the help from the Talbot support, in particular with the Catering Facility. Without this help, the project would not have been possible.
The catering facility and shop has been the first project where the money provided by the supporters has exceeded the grant funding. A total of around £12,000 will be spent with only £4,700 from grant funding. That money has been raised in various ways such as the Memorabilia Shop, entrance to the stand and bucket collections. Our thanks must go to all Talbot fans for this support.
The BRC are now turning their attention to two new projects – refurbishing the Talbot shop/ groundman’s hut and also new hospitality facilities. Our intention is to relocate John Holroyd’s old portacabin to the top of the terracing to the right of the stand. If all goes to plan, this will become the new hospitality suite with much improved facilities for sponsors. The Regeneration Committee hope to release more details soon.
In the meantime, thanks to everyone who has assisted in all our projects so far and we look forward to your continued support.
David Gibson
Beechwood Regeneration Committee
