Dear Supporter

As a loyal supporter/member/friend of London Irish, I am writing to you to ask for your support.

The club is facing one of its biggest challenges yet. After over 70 years at The Avenue in Sunbury, we have outgrown the site and desperately need to move to a new home to ensure we can provide the facilities our whole family and the local community needs and deserves.

You may already be aware that we have applied for planning permission for a new sporting centre of excellence at Hazelwood, Sunbury. In order to fund the move, and the provision of the facilities needed, we have also applied for planning permission for the redevelopment of The Avenue site.

This is where we need your help, we need to demonstrate to Spelthorne Council that there is an abundance of support and enthusiasm for the club to remain in Sunbury, and demonstrate support for our planning applications.

So how can you help us? You can write, email or provide your comments online. More information on both applications, the reasons for the move and how to make your opinion count is available by clicking on the tabs above.

We have a once in a generation opportunity to provide our great club with a long term, first class home, of which not just us, but also the whole of Sunbury and Spelthorne can be proud. Don't miss this opportunity to show your continued support.

With many thanks,

Andy Martin
