The grass is growing well and will be fine for play this summer. Unfortunately the process of planning and consent from WDC is taking longer than anticipated but the steel framed two storied building will be worth waiting for as machinery and tools can be kept downstairs along with a spare dressing room and there will be changing rooms, showers, bathrooms, kitchen and social area upstairs with seating for approximately 50 out the front of the Pavilion. The picket fences will be retained and a grass block ready for the 15/16 season we hope. Will keep you all up to date with the project as it develops. <photos> MORE >>

As the photos show the ground is quite a way down a sealed drive through some trees and into the ground area which is surrounded by trees and has a Pavilion on a bank and a lovely outfield and good looking wicket block.
