Fund Raising:

Fund raising activities have been minimal in the past year due to concentration on other matters such as the children’s play area.

General:

	Containers continue to be a positive feature of the playing field by providing adequate facilities for sport activities. We are currently assessing the feasibility & requirements for extra storage for ground maintenance equipment as sports clubs using the field are an important source of income.
	Maintenance in general has been steady throughout the year & has included recent tree surgery work

Play area:

	A sub committee was formed in 2007 to apply for the funding made available by the parish initiative fund & the big lottery to replace outdated equipment.
	We have success with both bids thanks to help from the Borough & Parish Councils amounting to £45,000.
	SPFA will contribute £7,000 towards this total for the revised children’s play area on the existing site.
	Completion of the new play area is planned for September 2008.
