September 2014 - Internal walls are added to the new clubhouse.  The Club is taking a step nearer to completion with roof, walls and stairs going up within the structure.  Pitch 1 has had rough spoil laid, raised and levelled so that the finer top graded spoil and soil can be laid and raised by an estimated 300mm to take the new pitch turf. On the east side, curb stones are being laid shaping the car park.
