Any other Comments?

Club requires Dedicated Ladies Changing / Shower facilities – perhaps portable structure to encourage greater female participation from teenage years upwards. Communal showers not particularly popular with teenage females, in particular – a new facility would address this situation until more permanent structure in place as envisaged in future Master Plan

A Portacabin has been purchased to facilitate an on-site gym.

Very successful Club Shop now operating onsite.

Currently leasing former Youth Club in village (away from club) to accommodate Winter indoor activity for youth – new community facilities envisaged in Master Plan will redress
