Pitch 3 and 4 seeding is on hold until next week whilst water works inspection chamber is to be complete

30,000 litres of water for the irrigation have been put into water tank, pump has been installedand is waiting for a connection to the supply

Floodlights for all the pitches are now up

Hedges have been scrubbed out, and emergency track is in the process of being created
