They were joined by local resident and project designer Mark Folkes of Foulkes Architects.
The existing marquee is facing its last winter of being patched up and urgently needs replacing.
The trustees are exploring all avenues for funding the project including grant applications, private donations and sponsorship, and community fundraising. They have even applied to the TV show DIY SOS on the suggestion of the MP.
