The closure threatened Royal British Legion Social Club in Sutton Bridge has won a reprieve with Legion bosses in London backing down on an order to shut up shop.

Events are going ahead as usual, but the club faces another inspection of its accounts before it is in the clear.

The Legion in London ordered the club to close its doors on August 31, citing outstanding debts, but the club said headquarters failed to note an upturn in its fortunes.

Club secretary and treasurer Karen Treacher said committee members are now urging people in Sutton Bridge to support the club so it is not lost.

She said the change of heart came after a meeting with Royal British Legion (RBL) representatives on September 3.

Ms Treacher said: “The committee would like to express their thanks to the members of the club, the hundreds of people who signed the petitions, parish councillor Mrs Vicky Hills and in particular parish councillor Mrs Jenny Rowe for facilitating the meeting and parish councillor Mrs Shirley Giles for attending the meeting and voicing her concerns.”

The committee thanked three local businesses for supporting the club through “thick and thin” and said it would have closed without their help.
