Improvements at the Field
Drainage works
There has been a lot of work undertaken to ensure the field can drain as well as it can. The large pond to the east has had the drains cleared to ensure it can drain out to the east of the trotting track.
Additional drains have been added around the field and club house to ensure the ground stays as dry as it can.
Thanks to all those involved.
Securing the Field
Covers Rejuvenation
All covers have been rejuvenated. Some minor finishing touches such as guttering to be completed.
Looking very nice
New Artificial Grass
New Artificial Grass for the floor of each cover. The club recently purchased enough artificial grass to cover the floor of each cover. This work will be carried out in the coming weeks. It should make a huge improvement to the look and safety for club members.
New toilet

New Signage
Future Improvements
Some items being considered are listed below.
Field Maintenance

General field maintenance
It is the responsibility of all club members to ensure the field and its fascilities are kept clean and tidy.
If you see rubbish laying around please pick it up and put it in a bin. Plenty available.
If the bins are full please empty them into one of the wiz bins on the western side of the club house. If these are full please let a committee member know so they can be emptied.
If the club house is untidy maybe bring a broom next time your coming flying and give it a sweep out.
If you have junk at home you no longer want. Think whether anyone else will really want it before bringing it to the club and depositing it in the club house.
Field Under Maintenance
Flying when field maintenance is underway. There should be no flight movements if the field is under maintenance. That is, being mowed. For the safety of everyone, if the strip is not clear of people and equipment, do not fly.
