Hopefully it will be enjoyed and used by all.

Raised a lot of money didn't they?

I'm impressed that they've done it. I hear too many people complain about the lack of community spirit, and how no-one pitches in for community fundraising (eg 'If the Sikhs can raise £n million for a new temple, why can't we raise £500,000 for out local church') - usually the same people who don't do anything about it!
