The existing wooden stores will be replaced with a modified concrete garage with double doors at the front (instead of an up-and-over door), a side door and windows. A suitable base will need to be prepared for the building, piping and power supply laid from the main hall and, once put up, the new building will need to be fitted out.

It is intended that as well as a store room the new stores building will have a 'Quiet'/Project room down one side where quieter activities can take place at the same time as the main hall is being used. The Quiet Room may also serve as a base for Explorer Scouts.

A £10,000 grant from the Lottery Commission has been approved to pay for the new building and an application has been made for a separate grant toward the cost of the base. Group members, our own fund raising efforts and our own ingenuity will be needed to pay for the balance of the base and fitting out the new building. The amount we will need to provide is likely to be of the order of £5,000.
