Forestville Hockey Club Pitch Update

The pitch project has had a big couple of weeks!

We have now poured the slab for the new club rooms and have prepared the base for the new Tech Bench and Team Dugouts.

Our other milestone:

• All planning conditions were signed off
• Services were installed to the new clubrooms

Over the next month we plan to begin framing the club rooms, pour the base for the Tech Bench and Team Dugouts and install the fencing for the Dugouts and Tech Bench.

Club use of the pitch

We now have all club training on our home pitch and have all junior and most senior home fixtures programmed for Unley.

Completion of the base and fencing for the Tech Bench and Team Dugouts, which is planned for June, will enable us to play Premier League and Metro 1 games at our new home.

Other pitch users

In addition to the Club use of the pitch we have:

• Two local schools using the pitch, before and after school times, for their hockey training
• The Independent Girls’ Schools’ Sports Association is using the pitch for their Saturday morning competitions.

Acknowledgement

Preparing for the slab pour, and resolving all our planning conditions, has involved a lot of work by the Pitch Project committee and, particularly, by Paul Brocklehurst, our builder.

On behalf of the Club-a big thank you to Brocky and the Pitch Project committee.
