 | Phase One of Pitches Reconstruction Project - September 2007
With the valuable support of the ECB Community Club Development Fund we are reconstructing and downsizing our entire square.
Total Turf Solutions Ltd are managing this transformational project in two phases. Phase one was completed by main contractors Bancroft Amenities Ltd on 25th-27th September 2007, relaying the first 6 wickets. The remaining 6 wickets will be constructed in Autum 2008, with the full square back in service for the 2010 season.
