THIRD COURT TO GO AHEAD
- Proposal was submitted to Council late last year, the Imperial Netball Club have since heard the Council have approved us for a Third Court with Proposal 2 being selected with a few issues we must iron out first.
- Two issues that come from the Council we must deal with are;
1. Storm Water Drain problems
2. Approval from all clubs affected in the area the court is going to be built - We are currently looking into Grants to help us fund this Third Court
- Fundraising for this Third Court is in the process of being sought however if anyone is interested in helping us out please contact one of our Committee Members or contact us through PO Box 1655, MURRAY BRIDGE SA 5253.
- Full approval for the Third Court was given in the first week of August 2008, awaiting on grants to be able to go ahead with the court.
