GRACEDIEU

Great to see the ball netting & the steel light poles start to go up for our Floodlit Training Pitch over the weekend. Our perimeter walking track works are also under way. All these infrastructural improvements cost huge money & despite the assistance of grants we need funds for our contribution. If you’re not already a member of the Gracedieu Scheme, please consider and contact Alan Duke.
