As we have confirmed
in recent months the development of Gleblands is starting to make
some progress now as we step carefully through the funding and
leasing process supported by the RFU, RL and Council.
This week we held a
meeting to discuss the proposed layout of the changing rooms and
club house development and have agreed to a 3 Phase Development Plan
leading into 2012.
Phase 1 – Ground and
Pitch Development – Improvement of the Drainage system for 4 pitches
at Gleblands including the installation of a Floodlight area for
evening training
Phase 2 –
Redevelopment of the existing changing facilities to 5 separate
changing facilities plus storage areas and launderette.
Phase 3 – Club House
Development to front/side of the existing facility. Including bar,
kitchen and function room for community use.
The next step is to
formally set up a Working Party or Committee to move the development
forward. The Committee will consist of Independent Chairman,
Secretary and Treasurer plus four representatives from partner clubs
(2 from GRUFC 2 from GARLFC)
We will be shortly
be confirming the date of the 1st AGM of Garforth Rugby Club, likely
to be late June. This will formally set up a working Committee to
move things forward. If you are interested in volunteering for the
working committee or if your interest in getting involved in any
aspect please speak to Garforth RUFC Secretary Jonny Fallas (07974
833516).

Just kidding!
