French owned, Alstom, have taken the decision to close St.Leonard's Sports & Social Club following an AGM meeting earlier tonight ( Wednesday 30/01/2013 ). This is a devastating blow to the factories employees and local community.

Please sign this petition to keep the club open and support one of Stafford's biggest and best family venues.
