| The
long awaited temporary pavilion for Borstal Recreation ground,
according to the latest information from Medway Council should
be in place by the end of March 2008!
This should hopefully help Real
60 football club, whom have been without any facilities for a
number of years - (Currently we can not report any news
about when we could expect to see a new permanent pavilion but
BOSS are continuing to lobby the Open spaces department)

Last year BOSS in
partnership with the conservation team of Medway Council applied
for a BBC's Breathing Place National Lottery fund grant.
Unfortunately we must report that our application was
unsuccessful.
But thanks to our
conservations officers who we have been working with we are able
to undertake some of the tasks that we had planned to use the
grant for.

The
open spaces within Borstal are a haven for wildlife! We are
extremely lucky having a recreation ground for sport and
