In the charity's own words
Discussions with the planners regarding the provision of changing facilities on the field to enable the playing of team sports have continued. The associated fund raising has commenced. In the meantime, the directors will encourage the widest use of the field consistent with the constraint that a lack of permanent facilities brings.
