The temporary modules are now in place on the new ground, with electricity and water about to be connected, and have been painted in line with council guidelines. When utilities have been laid on, refitting of the modules can start.

All 12 strips have now been completed, and the grass is even beginning to come through! Next target is the outfield, on schedule for the ground to hold its first match in the 2010 season. Meanwhile, work will continue to get the current pitch to the best playing condition possible to meet Alliance requirements.

Courtesy of Chance to Shine, we've received a £7000 Non-turf Grant towards a hard-wearing, all-weather, non-turf playing surface. A youth fundraiser during the season will help to raise the balance towards this.

And finally, many thanks to the Norfolk Youth Fund for their generous grant, which enabled us to kick-start these developments. If you or anyone you know is interested in being involved in supporting this project, please contact us on petehalescc@aol.com for the opportunities available.

September 2006- The Club has received planning permission and is in the process of tying up the 7.5 acre site adjacent to our current pitch. The building plans have been expertly drawn up by Alan Martin and are currently being costed. We've also got costings for laying a new pitch, and for the archaeological work that may have to be undertaken during construction. We're hoping that the Club will soon receive Clubmark status, which will be vital to applying for funds. As soon as we've had building costs in and a last couple of pieces of information from Sportsmatch and Sport England, we can send in our grant application forms. Thanks to everyone for their support during what's been a rather long-drawn out process!
