Help the Hatters Handover to Cheadle & Gatley JFC.






Over the years Help the Hatters have been proud to support the Club and particularly its Manager James Gannon, who was very much involved when we first set forth on the unending journey with a mammoth refurbishment of Manor Farm training facility in Timperley.

We are peopled and driven by volunteers without whom nothing would be possible , and these men and women have been truly inspirational in the last few months, when despite still being in the midst of keeping Edgeley Park ship shape, some of our number took considerable time out to head off to Cheadle & Gatley JFC on Outwood Road, Heald Green  to fulfil a project to turn  a somewhat dilapidated facility building into one fit for purpose.




















You can perhaps get some appreciation of how hard a task this was from the above photos (thanks to Edd & Simon for these) , but many hours were spent painting, plastering and much/much more, and the project was completed this week.

So ………..to Wednesday 25th,when it was possible for Help the Hatters to hand the facility back to Cheadle & Gatley JFC, and the team who did the biz headed off to Outwood Road for the handover ceremony.
Fitzy is pictured here with the Cheadle & Gatley contingent holding the plaque that will go up within the newly re-furbed building.











 Cheadle & Gatley  were most hospitable to the Help the Hatters team on the night for which we are most grateful.
 

We are also appreciative of Cheadle & Gatley`s generous donation to Help the Hatters funds, which will be very useful indeed to us, helping to ensure we can  keep on doing what we do!

Why did we do this particular project?

Well…..as usual the motivation was a desire to help the Club and its Manager James Gannon, and the re-furb would ensure that the County first team, Alan Lord`s Academy squads, and the Community Foundation can now use the facility. 

Job done then, so a final thank you to all the volunteers who put this all together( you know who you are!)
