Softball/Baseball Pitch


New pitch marked on Rugby pitch 2


‘block’ of the pitch on which to


train, and we will continue this in the future as it allows us to select specific areas to repair or rest. We have some very good IT support amongst our committee and this is one way that it has really helped us.” Major renovations take place


in May, straight after the pitch is traditionally used for a popular beer festival (pandemics permitting) and it’s a tight schedule before training begins again in June. It looked a little different this year with the first, second and third XV plus the Colts playing forty-five minute socially distanced slots before a fifteen minute changeover. Youth and ladies teams started training in September, so even


without fixtures, the


playing surfaces will have seen plenty of action before the winter sets in. “There’s a strong commercial side to the club’s activities so, in a normal year, beer festivals, events related to the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, summer balls and a bike show all take their toll on the turf, but we built in a renovation fee to the hire so repairs are accounted for,” he comments. Budget cuts this year meant the plan to scarify to help rye establishment - the pitches are about 40% poa - was put on
