Chairman's Notes: (Bob 'Neill)

If you didn't get the news, last night 31st October 2011 KMC was congratulated by the Reading Borough Council right across parties on its hard work and given the green light toward further progress. Marian Livingstone, the Lead Councillor proposed her support from RBC for our endeavours.  Tom Stanway of the Conservatives hoped that RBC would make more options open for us in the year to come and gave us his hearty congratulations.  Daisy Benson from the Lib Dems also congratulated the campaign for sticking at it.

KMC had been given just two years to raise the money to restore the Baths and then the options for RBC were to go back to EH and demolish, to re-market it, or stick with KMC.  We are now back in the picture to continue our effort to restore this valued part of Reading's history.

The BG Group (Natural Gas Leaders) have deposited a huge £3000 into the Campaign Fund. A huge huge thankyou for their support.
