Clubhouse Opening

I am delighted to invite you to the opening of our new Clubhouse this Saturday, the 31st October.

We are pleased to have John Trollope MBE as our guest of honour. It is particularly relevant that John opens our new facility as not only does he herald from Wiltshire but played all his professional football in the County, amassing a record 770 League appearances for Swindon Town FC during a 20 year playing career. This period for Swindon Town was arguably their most successful topped with a League Cup final win against Arsenal at Wembley in 1969. John played in that final and made the long journey up the old Wembley steps to receive his winners medal.

Following his playing career John went into Club Management and finally into youth coaching where he has had much success developing young professional players. John is now on the scouting staff of Bristol Rovers where his son, and former Welsh International, Paul, is the manager.

We will open the Clubhouse at 11am on Saturday 31st October, everyone is invited to come along and look around after the official opening. We do hope you'll be able to join us and take pride in the facility that has been built.

One word of caution, we expect the ground to be extremely busy, therefore can I ask that each of you consider walking, cycling, or car-sharing. If you bring your vehicle please park at Pine and Cane or the Soho Inn for the morning.
