Normanton Girls´ Club will be after your vote on Monday 13 November when they compete on ITV Central News for £50,000 of Big Lottery Fund cash. The Girls´ Club intend to use the money to pay for the construction and installation of a Climbing Boulder in their local park, Derby Arboretum. The aim is to provide a climbing facility for the local community, with particular emphasis on providing a sporting facility for women and girls, as well as existing park users and climbers from the City.At the beginning of this month the Girls´ Club, with money from the Small Change Fund took a minibus of club members to have a play on similar climbing boulders that have been built in Sheffield parks. The girls also went climbing on the Gritstone outcrops of the Burbage Valley. ITV came to film the Girls´ Club at 2pm on Friday 27 October in Derby Arboretum, and despite the weather the Girls all wore the T-shirts they´d made the day before and put on an enthusiastic show to help win votes. The film ITV made will be on Central News East at 6pm, next Monday. They will go head to head with Uppingham Town Council´s Green burial Site – Natural Burials project. Telephone numbers for voting will be announced in The Daily Mirror on the day, The Big Lottery´s website, and we´ll be posting it on our website as well. Voting lines will be opened from 9am until midnight for the public to express their preference by phone on where the money should go. The winners will be announced on ITV the day after.
