As I said in my previous message it's not good news unfortunately the council have granted and  acv on our building this was granted on the request of the so say friends of Brighton This means the council put a restriction on our building initially it was a six week interim periodwhen the friends of Brighton needed to put in an intention to bid unfortunately for us this is what they did which now means we cannot sell the building for six months. This 6 months gives them the opportunity to get together enough money to put a bid in when we relist the property. The property will be listed and all bids will need to be in by the 6th May it will still be the club's decision on who the club sells to or which bid the club wishes to accept. All of the problems we have had are down to the friends of Brighton {these are the guys that were outside of our last meeting at the leisure centre) It is such a shame that these people some of them not even members and none of them financial members have been allowed to ruin the legacy of this club and all the happy memories that genuine members had. If there is any further news t will let you know I don't believe there will be so I probably will not be speaking to you or commenting again until May.
