SAVE OUR CLUB!
Thank you for your continuing support for the Save Our Club campaign. ????
We are pleased to let you know that, following discussions between our solicitors and the Building Company, we have successfully negotiated a six-week extension on the eviction notice (this had been due to take effect on 22 September).
During this extension period, further negotiations will take place. We will keep you updated on future developments. We have been blown away by the response of members and the wider community to our campaign to protect the future of the club.
To date, £22,112 from the GoFundMe as well as almost £3k from last Friday’s Fundraiser & the extras from T-Shirt sales, has been raised to support our legal fees and our petition has reached 7,095 signatures.
t-shirts and further merch are available over the bar, proceeds going to our legal campaign fund.
Please do support our upcoming fundraisers, which include:
27.09.24: Home On The Range: Never Can Say Goodbye
28.09.24: Back To The Funkin 80s
And more will continue to be announced…
This week our campaign reached national coverage in the Guardian
and The Manchester Mill has been covering the Carlton Club in their unique long-form, deep dive journalism, the latest piece published yesterday (21/09/24), worth a subscribe, if you don’t already.
Thank you for your ongoing support and patience as we work through this matter.
The Carlton Club is a precious community asset and we are determined to protect its future.
Calling all our members, visitors, promoters, performers and patrons – please use your voice and share… it’s power in numbers and we must fight this together!
For 111 years, Rowan Lodge has been the home of the Carlton Club providing a welcoming environment for the people of Whalley Range to gather and socialise, fostering life-long friendships.
The Building Company has served us an eviction notice which we are challenging. The legal process will take at least 12 months – it is business as usual during this time but we must fight to preserve our long-term future.
