Market Harborough Advertiser and Midland Mail - Tuesday 18 January 1898

Market Harborough Advertiser   22 Mar   The Rev. A. P. Dawson, President of the KCC, presided over a special meeting of the Village Cricket Club on Wednesday evening. Mr. Pettifer, Architect, Leicester, had prepared plans of the new structure, which was submitted by the new Secretaries. The contract was estimated at about £80., and towards that amount, £50 had already been subscribed. A discussion ensued relative to the further raising of funds and it was immediately agreed to hold a dance in the Village Hall for that purpose. For the arrangement of that a special committee was appointed. On the motion of Mr. W. G. Grewcock, Sec. by Mr. G. Fane, the following resolution was adopted unanimously: “That this meeting approve the steps taken by the Pavilion Committee and that they empower the following to carry out the completion of the building. Rev. A. P. Dawson, Messrs. E. V. Phillips, C. B. Marriott, J Price-Evans, F. J. LovedayT. H. Lewis.” Mr. Branston will probably carry out the contract. The question of the situation of the building was raised, and it was resolved on the motion of Mr. H.Woodcock, that the committee be instructed to place the Pavilion in the South-west corner of the field, somewhere near the corner gate.
