Astro Safety and Security Enhancements
Posted by on 4 June 2020
Maintaining the security of our fantastic facilities is vital, so it is great news that the CCTV coverage of the pitch has been upgraded to ensure that we have enhanced capabilities to monitor use of the pitch remotely at all times. Big thanks to James Dukes for installing and setting up the new system, especially for spending hours in the baking heat of the clubhouse loft to re-connect everything. Using using lifting equipment from local Styal hire company, Rhoburt (http://www.rhoburt.co.uk/), James and Paul Pearson installed new cabling from the clubhouse to the pitch to complete the job.
Any-vandal paint has also been applied to the astro cage to deter anyone trying to climb over the fence on to the pitch - this has been necessary as result of several recent intrusions.
The decent weather also finally dried the grass out enough to get the cherry-picker to the end of the pitch to enable the catch net at the Styal Road end of the astro to be re-hung. The Men's 1s will no doubt be pleased - as will drivers passing the club ! Thanks to sterling work in sweltering heat by Paul Pearson and Rob Menlove to get this critical job done. Shame they forgot the subtan !
