The following plea for help has appeared on the members only forum at London Heathside Athletics Club:
Members may be aware that the club is getting assistance from a leisure management consultant in working up a report that will provide us with information on capital improvements to the track. It will also outline a costed business plan on how we might manage the track in future. The main thrust is that we will need to improve the trading position by at least £50k per year. Additional income from track bookings may help but the area with greatest income potential is the large hall within the changing room block. We can of course make better use of it ourselves but please put on your thinking caps and let me know (by Monday22nd August if possible) of any great schemes. We aim to attract some money to improve/adapt and alter the building so get thinking.
If any members of stroudgreen.org have any bright ideas please post them here and/or email them to roarster@sky.com or s.woolf@londonheathside.org.uk

Plus, if that pitch is relaid, quite a few football clubs (mine included) would probably pay several hundred quid a year to use the pitch (as well as any bar). I don't know how much the american football lot who already use it pay though.
