The trustees recently visited Clifton House , Brighouse (next to Tescos) to consider the premises as a potential future site for the bridge club.

The whole building is up for rental and there is an option to rent a quarter of the building.

Two potential rooms were viewed, the room to the bottom right of the picture and the one on the first floor ,left of the picture.

The upstairs room is accessed by some steep stairs , however there is a chair lift.

The downstairs room is accessed via steps or ramp from the pavement/carpark.

Both rooms have or will have toilets and some kitchen facilities, the upstairs room is slightly bigger.

It was felt both rooms would comfortably accommodate 16 tables and would also have some store rooms.

There is access to a private car park and we would have some designated spots, further public carparks are outside Artisan and opposite Boyes (both are accessed via pedestrian crossings) and are about a 2 minute walk. there is also some free on-street parking behind Artisan.

After an initial financial review of costs at the recent trustees meeting, further question were raised and approval was given to continue to investigate, with a view to producing proposals, to be reviewed by the next meeting, or sooner.

Both rooms are currently under consideration , however the slightly smaller downstairs room is cheaper and has easier access.

It was agreed that once we have solid proposals and if considered viable then we would look to arrange a potential viewing for all members.

There would then be an extraordinary meeting to consider and discuss the proposals before a vote on whether to proceed.

Please note there are a lot of things to be considered at this time and we don't currently have all the answers.

The purpose of the notice is to keep members informed , comments are open on this item. Also please feel free to discuss with any trustee, views are welcome.

The trustees who visited the premisses were :- Rob, Jenny, Brenda, Mel, Paul and David Whittaker.
