Great turnout for the ribbon-cutting. After 5 years of fund raising, planning and building, the Pavilion committee proudly opened the renovated Honley CC pavilion. We contributed in a small way and sponsored a brick.

The group overseeing fundraising for the pavilion restoration have finally got the go ahead. Building starts in September.
They are also exploring smaller projects by way of thanking contributors, growing good will within the community and advertising what is happening. Hence a ‘sponsor a brick’ campaign – tel David Hutchinson 07801522321.
