Well zorro has sort of asked someone who is a member directly because I'm the treasurer of Town Team Marple.
I can therefore tell you that we don't actually have the money from the council yet (we are waiting for them to figure out who can sign to release the money to us and there has been a hiccup within our own organisation too - see later) and we are still discussing and developing ideas about how to spend the money when we do get it into our bank account (which was set up at the end of February).
Other member of the steering group include Secretary Diane Jackson (who did a huge amount of work preparing the original bid that resulted in the award), Ian Smith (owner of the Review newspaper) and Cllrs Susan Ingham and Craig Wright are on the steering group too. We did have a Chairman in Mick McPhee but unfortunately he recently felt it necessary to resign for personal reasons and we still need to establish a permanent replacement in this role.
The sort of things that we have been looking at include a couple of different types of town trail possibly some events and at the moment we are considering the development of a Marple brand that everyone can use.
This is just me speaking and I hope a more rounded statement can be made on behalf of the steering group in the near future.
