I was very pleased to attend the official opening of the new pavillion on Scholes Field.  It’s a great resource that’s taken a lot of time and effort to bring about.

The pavillion includes a room that we hope will be available for booking by community and private groups – the details are still being worked out but we should have more information soon.

There are also three pairs of changing rooms (home and away), each with toilets and showers, plus kitchen, office and storage areas.

The running track on Scholes Field has fencing round it, but there’s still a problem with dogs being walked inside the area.  Dog mess causes a particular problem when the area’s used for athletics.

A sign will soon be put up on the gate politely asking dog walkers to keep their dogs away from the fenced area – hopefully that will do the trick.  I know most dog walkers are responsible and will observe the signs.

The other outstanding piece of work for the pavillion is having marked parking bays in the car park.  This should have been done, but if you visit the site, you’ll see right away that the current surface isn’t suitable for painting.

We may end up with painted bays over a properly bonded car park surface, or with studs to mark the bays, but this will be done one way or another.
