Tony Briggs, one of the manufacturers visited Armadale on 26th July and gave us a sound knowledge of what we can expect with regard to his product and that of his competitors.

It seems likely that Tony can supply us with the best available but, unsurprisingly, that comes at a price higher than we had originally budgeted for. We’ve still to take a decision as to exactly the product we will invest in but as time marches on we must proceed with our fund raising.

We announced in the Scottish Open programme that our End of Season Dinner and dance will be a fund raisers for the air fence and tickets will go on sale at the end of the month. We also intend to produce an Edinburgh Monarchs 2014 calendar as another source of fund raising. This will be on sale in the middle of September but we are looking for support to defray the cost of producing the calendar so that all sales can go to the air fence fund.

At the moment we are looking for advertisers for each month of the calendar. For £120(including VAT) you can have exclusive advertising rights to one month or for £72 you can share a month. For £600 you can have 50 copies of your own calendar with your own messages on every monthly page. You can see what we are talking about as we will have specimen pages to view at the Club Shop and Monarchs Mall on Friday but any interested parties can email us now and we’ll confirm details.

We are currently developing other ideas for our fund raising drive and these will be announced in the days and weeks to come.
