The Vision
The Vision
The new sports ground as it is envisaged will be a total community facility for all ages, male and female no matter what their chosen sport is and no matter what standard of play they wish to achieve. Everyone will be made welcome !!
At this stage junior and senior football clubs have been catered for and junior and senior cricket similarly but this is by no means the limit to the aspirations we have. For instance, a suggestion has been made that the Pavilion could be used as a centre for Table Tennis, this is being taken seriously and the incorporation of this is being taken into future plans. Netball and Tennis is another priority and we will work towards it’s provision in the future.

Making the Grounds Eco Friendly
In addition to creating a positive impact on the local community, we are also ensuring that the new facilities provide a boost to the local wildlife and eco-system.
​
Here are a few of the goals and steps that we are taking to ensure that this happens:
Solar Panels on the Pavilion
Trees & Shrub Planting
Bees & Insects Assisted to Thrive
Nesting Boxes for Birds & Bats
✓ ​Ponds to support wildlife
✓ Bat boxes in the pavilion roof
✓ Reed beds to provide a habitat for newts, fish, frogs and birds.
✓ Footpaths to be well maintained and interest/nature created along their route.
✓ Carbon neutral approach
✓ Balancing ponds
✓ Clean water run-offs from drainage facilities
✓ Promotion of natural history
✓ Enhanced for birds and other species
✓ Haven for wildlife
✓ Newts attracted to watercourses
✓ Ground Source Heating for the Pavillion
