Litter, protect our environment and be good neighbours

Litter - Please help
I have been notified by our groundsman that some locals have highlighted our activity is polluting the local environment. As a consequence last week he spent some time in the adjacent fields collecting spent drink bottles, coke cans and other litter attributable to our activity. He filled two buckets!

As well as protecting our environment we need to be good neighbours. The local farmer whose fields surround us offers the Club significant support as well as use of his tractor to get the pitch mown. His crops and livestock may be impacted by our activity. We really cannot, and should not, cause him and the residents of Norley Lane inconvenience or cause for concern.

Can I ask that you promote good practice for dealing with litter. Talk to your children, help them understand that litter is their responsibility. It is not acceptable for bottles to be left for the coach to collect and take home. Please take all litter home or put it in the bin. Litter is not only unsightly but broken, sharp plastic can cause injuries if left on the ground.

Ensure players take their bottles, cans, tape and wrappers home with them. Please offer your understanding and support for this activity.


Pitch Status
Remember the status of the pitch; whether closed or opened, is maintained on Twitter, Facebook, the DHUFC Website and the Pitch Hotline (0845 5272 886). If you like or follow our facebook or twitter feeds you will receive immediate notification of pitch status changes direct to your phone.


Cold Weather Clothing
Please ensure you send your child to training wearing appropriate clothing for the conditions. Coaches have been told to contact parents to collect children who are inappropriately dressed.


Thank you for your support.
