A brief update just to keep folk in the loop...........

Pitches.............temporary repairs progressing well. Drains (what's left of them) cleaned out and photographs of what#'s left of them have been taken and they're not a pretty site! Bottom line is they have to be replaced.

Verti draining, sand slitting / brushing done, and first of two special fertiliser applications completed. At least two of the pitches will be available for use next season, but pitch 2 remains a doubtful prospect.

Clubhouse.......... detailed designs and costings are now being prepared after a request from Sport England.

Insurance.........flood insurance going forward is not available at the time of writing. But, ABI and government are now looking at a scheme for sports grounds and small businesses, similar in nature to the FloodRe scheme that started earlier this month for private homes.

Temporary bar facilities..........nothing yet finalised. Negotiations with insurance still ongoing.
