As you’re all aware, the off-season is our opportunity to prepare the pitches for the upcoming rugby season. However, as has been the case in recent years, ongoing weather challenges have made this task even more difficult this summer. This weekend the club is used for Chill Fest, a significant fundraiser for the club, but the areas will need some recovery time too.

I’m writing to share the agreed plan to give us the best possible chance of having three playable pitches available by the start of the season in September.

1st and 2nd Team Pitches are now out of use until further notice. It is unlikely they will be available before our 1st League games in September.
Senior training will resume at the club in July on the top 3rd XV Pitch.

All other teams are requested to use the training areas above the bowls club until further notice.

We understand how difficult it is to balance the need for essential pitch maintenance with providing access for all teams. While we would love to offer unlimited training availability, that simply isn’t feasible at this time.

Thank you all for your understanding and support.

The Committee
