News and Updates

  • Laurie, our Club President, will be out of action from 4 August, 2023 as he is having surgery on his ankle. The expected recovery time for this surgery is at least 5 months. So he will not be available around the fields until after Christmas. However, he will still be able to do things from home and be contactable.
  • We have purchased a new mower.
  • The infield on both fields has been topped up with dirt, approximately 64 tonnes, and is settling well.
