Berwick 'Bertie' Boiler Appeal
It will come as no surprise to those who visit our treasured headquarters, that the aged boiler and central heating system needs replacing. An enthusiastic fundraising committee has been established to create opportunities for members, supporters and friends to pay for the work which starts in September 2011. The County Executive have released the necessary funds, approximately £30,000. The fundraising committee have been charged with replacing this money as soon as possible.
