April 2023

We have now moved to our permanent home in Roade.

February 2023

We are moving to Roade on 1 April, playing on two lawns. Our two main, professionally levelled and seeded lawns should be ready to play on by early June.

January 2023

Now we are in 2023 work has continued at Roade, with extensive clearing and preparing lawns three and four. Water is now on the site allowing us to irrigate the lawns in hot weather. A sign has now been installed at the entrance. See new photographs at the bottom of the page.

A secure storage container has been sited and lawn care equipment has been purchased including a reconditioned cylinder mower and a paddock mower.

Below are some photographs showing the progress we have made. We hope to be playing at Roade by late spring or early summer.
