LOOK AT US NOW!

A chance conversation set in motion work on the ground which seemed to gain a life of its own and best of all was achieved at minimal cost to the club. The financing has come about by a series of grants, help by contacts previously unknown to the club, whose enthusiasm and support has been magnificent.

A magnificent effort by everyone.
