The club would like to investigate expanding the kitchen and bar area to provide more facilities on match days. To get this moving the committee would be interested to talk to any architects / designers or trades people who would be able to assist with the initial plans for the work. If anyone thinks they may be able to assist, or knows someone who can, then please contact Harry, Alan or any of the executive committee (see contact us on the menu on the left).

Further to the report on this website that we have been asked to try a new spectator initiative your intrepid reporter (i.e. webmaster) has an update. I was present on one wet and wild day pitch side to witness the boundary posts and police incident style tape being erected alongside the pitch - the idea being that this would keep spectators and coaches away from the action areas - so helping the players and referee.
Unfortunately it was so windy the tape pulled the posts over and some posts (plastic) started to break - so the trial had to be abandoned. We of course continue to have a rope along the car park pitch which is made of sterner stuff.
We will let you know of any further updates and technological advances (like using a rope rather than thick tape!) when we get them. (Ed)
