Sports pitch underway at Brumby Hall
The development will see the construction of an all-weather hockey pitch, a junior football pitch with the existing grass tennis courts been redeveloped to create nine full-size courts with a special area for children. This develoment will compliment the nearby Pods Sports Academy which is due to open in June and will help create a sports village in the centre of the town. It has been promised that the new facilities will not only be available to the members of Appleby Frodingham Works Athletic Club but also the wider community, including schools and colleges.
The facilities are being created by the Appleby Frodingham Works Athletic Club at a cost of over £500,000 with help from a £147,000 grant from the Lawn Tennis Association. As a result of this development the Childrens Gala, celebrating its 80th anniversary this year, and usualy takes place in June has been put back to the 4th September.
