Southwick Village Hall Chairman’s report as follows

Southwick Playing Field Committee report

During the last year the committee has continued to meet on Thursdays has had 5meetings the majority of which have had good attendance.

Once again, the provision of well-maintained play equipment has had top priority. Regrettably this year we have had several bouts of vandalism to both adult and child equipment all of which has had to be repaired at accost. Once again, the continued lack of responsibility by some dog owners, has caused concern for not only the committee but also some of the villagers and sportsmen.

Following the successful hedge planting last year the committee have been doing some similar work at the boundary hedge near the garage this year. Thanks to Tony Doel, Ted Pomeroy, Ben Sansom and Kath Noble four dead trees have been felled and removed.

The use of only one football team using the pitch this year has allowed the grass to last much better despite this years unseasonal weather. The Beehive Cricket Club have continued to use the the square although their results have not been so good, and Southwick Show had another successful show on Bank Holiday Monday

Grass cutting and strimming has again been carried out by Richard Dent. Hedge cutting by Jackson & Sons, line marking by Dave Haines and other work by J.L. Pethers. Thanks, must also go to our regular helpers and supporters and to Southwick Parish Council for their financial assistance.

Finally, as chairman I must thank all the committee although small in number for their continued support so that between us all we try to ensure that the field which is our war memorial remains an asset for everyone.

Mr. E. G. Pomeroy BEM,

Chairman

Southwick Playing Filed Management Committee
