Newsletter – October 2018

With autumn upon us we are pleased to say that we’ve made a lot of progress during the summer. We attended quite a few events, including the combined churches fete and carnival day.

New Gates For Southward Lane Field

Thanks to the Marlborough Area Board grant we received, we were delighted to replace the old wire gates to the Southward Lane field with a lovely new gate. There is a gap for pedestrians and those using mobility scooters, so this will make life for all those using the field much more comfortable, while keeping the area secure. This is one of two gates that we were able to buy, and while one is being stored until it is needed, this one will be moved to it’s new position between Palmers and Southward Lane fields, as and when the development begins . (This is marked on the plans on our website).

While we were installing the new gate it was fantastic to see regular Saturday sporting events taking place behind us. It was a great reminder of the keen sports interest that there is in Aldbourne. On this particular Saturday a group of about 20 people (aged from 12 to over 50) were playing mixed rugby netball as well as a fitness session.
