Our Brief

To undertake a study into the feasibility of

improving the existing clubhouse facilities through

the exploration of a number of strategic

approaches ranging from the refurbishment of the

existing building to a new build.

Existing Clubhouse

• The historical and emotional home of the Club.

• An attractive building but with extensions of

limited merit.

• The changing rooms are of a poor standard, do

not allow for mixed gender usage and do not

meet safeguarding regulations.

• Neither the clubhouse nor the changing facilities

are accessible.

• Limited connectivity to the pitches.

Cons

Pros

• Located in close proximity to pitches,

providing strong physical and visual links.

brief accommodation.

• No impact on club operations during

construction works.

• Walled garden provides a natural security.

for the club, with the juxtaposition of the

garden walls further enhancing this.

attracts additional funding.

• Entire clubhouse plus a significant extension

is available for alternative uses, thus

providing opportunities for additional revenue

streams.
