Garforth Rugby Club

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).
