"... to the highest specification ..."
That's nice.
Well they've only got a grant for £1.5million already so they really need that extra few thousand!That's nice.

I guess that means all the parents who were told to write in in support of the application will now have to do it all over again for the new one?!Statistics:Posted by newcomer — Fri 12 May, 2017 1:31 pm

How about if the Rock at the Castle team agreed to donate 2018 profits to Sele and 2019 to Simon Balle OR just split 2017 three ways? 
Or maybe independent teams could go around this year's Rock At The Castle collecting for other schools.Statistics:Posted by Steve — Fri 12 May, 2017 3:11 am

That seems to make it a bit unfair on the other schools to single them out for a payment towards what is still only one step above a "pipe dream" . I'm sure the other schools both have pipe dreams (and leaking roofs ) they would all like help with. Especially as their current sports halls are - I believe - both older than the Richard Hale one.

"The School is very grateful to those of you who have shown your support of the Sports Hall project in recent weeks and the large number of written positive comments on the planning application has been noted by East Herts Council. However, we have had to take into consideration concerns raised by the local community, and to continue our good relationship with all stakeholders, the School has reached a decision to withdraw the planning application in its current form.
We are working closely with our architects on a new scheme which will be submitted within the next few weeks. We will, of course, keep you updated.
In our quest to raise funds to equip the Sports Hall to the highest specification we look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at the upcoming 400th Anniversary events."

I also asked the point "what about all the other schools in the locality"?
Maybe there should be a bucket for each school and each attendee can decide which to support and it can all be split in proportion like in Waitrose!

And what about the other schools in the town? Is Richard Hale the most deserving or needy?
I see the press release (pdf) says:
it's "in recognition of the school’s 400th anniversary", it's also Simon Balle's 60th anniversary this year, should they get a prize too?
One could argue Sele is the more in need of the secondaries.
It also says:
"Many of its former pupils became Hertford Town Councillors and Mayors of the town, and Councillors"
Hmm, one suspects this may be the main reason.
I wonder what the performers/organisers think?

This year's charity is Richard Hale School, to help fund the school's proposed new sports hall.
