£4 MILLION PLEDGED!
The Campaign team is delighted to announce that, due to the generosity of parents, former students and friends of the School, and following a huge amount of hard work by everyone involved, the initial £4 million target has not only been reached but exceeded.
The current total of pledged gifts now stands at just over £4.29 million - a truly excellent achievement. We are enormously grateful to everyone who has given or pledged their support and helped us to reach this mammoth target.
The Board of Governors has consequently given approval for the construction of Phase One of the George Welsh Sports Centre, comprising a splendid new sports hall to be located on the eastern side of the existing facility. This will commence next Autumn, with an expected build time of 7-9 months meaning that, if all goes well, we should be using it by Summer 2009.
A Continuing Need
The new George Welsh Sports Centre is destined to revolutionise sport at Gordonstoun and will give an enormous boost to both the School and the local community. However, and not surprisingly, estimated building costs have risen considerably during the lifetime of the Campaign and the £2 million initially estimated as the total for the three phases of the build is now out of date.
Phase One - Provision of main Sports Hall
Phase Two - Provision of changing rooms, first aid/referee’s room, entrance reception, lift and stairs. Upper Floor - Minor Sports Hall, classrooms, staff room/office, staff changing rooms, visitors lounge.
Phase Three - Remedial works to swimming pool, new poolside facilities, refurbishment of first floor viewing balcony and squash courts. Provision of new fitness suite.
This means that, if we are to proceed quickly with Phases Two and Three, we need to continue raising revenue and we would urge anyone who has been considering making a donation or pledge, but has yet to commit, to get in touch with the Campaign Office.
Therefore the Campaign rolls on!
