Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, KCC has been unable to secure a new base to operate from.
Whilst efforts are continuing to to find a new home it would be extremely helpful if club members and supporters could let their MP or VotWH District Councillor (or the Leader of the Vale District Council if you live in a different district) how much they value the club.

Thank you
