The training pitch will be out of use from the 18th April to 1 September inclusive to allow for the entire pitch to be power harrowed, re-seeded and rolled.

This work is absolutely essential, as you all know from the state of the pitch that we see every week.

There is to be no traffic on the pitch whatsoever during this time to alllow the new grass to take.

The club have secured the use of Stewards Comprehensive School in Harlow (3 miles from the club, via Rye Hill Road) for the period 26th July until 1st September, from 6pm till 9pm on a Tuesday and Thursday night.
They have very large playing fields, so space should not be an issue, even with the 1st team training on these nights also.

The charge will include the ability to store our equipment in a changing room, plus the marking out of the pitches.

Paul Donnelly has also sent an open invite to all age groups at Stewards School to come along and train with us if they so desire.
This could be a good opportunity to recruit for all teams from U12s upwards.

Could you all come back to me ASAP please regarding whether you will be using this facility, whether you will be taking a summer break, or whether you intend to organise your own training elsewhere, and from what dates?
