We have today received confirmation from the RFU of both our grant of £75,000 and the RFF loan of £100,000. In addition, following this news Sport England have confirmed their grant of £75,000.

This is fantastic news for the club and testimony to the hard work and dedication of the team who have been working on the project for over 3 years. My thanks to Chris Wright and the team on this fantastic result.

These grants and loans along with the other sources of funding means that we are now fully funded and ready to commence the build.

The team are liaising with Sports Clubhouses to finalise the date on which work will start, however we are confident that given we now have all the funding confirmation in place work will begin shortly and we will be on target to have the changing rooms completed by the end of August.

We are now working alongside the RFU media department regarding wider communication of the project - contact with local media etc - as well as further club wide communications regarding not only this project but the installation of the 4G pitch.
