New Goal Posts for Amble Pier 81

Amble Pier 81 Football Club were presented with a donation of £350 towards the purchase of a new set of football posts which are to cost £692.

The posts will go on the Welfare pitch which is used by both Amble Pier 81 and River Coquet Football teams.  The previous posts had disintegrated due to extensive usage and were no longer fit for purpose.

In danger of the Town losing two well established teams if the posts could not be replaced, an application was presented to the Finance Committee by Bill Griffiths, the Secretary of Amble Pier 81 FC, in which he stated that if funding was successful the posts would be made available to other community football groups and that each team would nominate a member who would be responsible for checking the posts on a weekly basis and carrying out any remedial work should it be required.

Funding was still to be secured for the remaining cost of the football posts; a grant application had been submitted to the Northumberland Football Foundation.
