The SPC has designated  Cllr  S Cluff , Cllr P Blandamer and Cllr Y Greenfield to review the Sports contracts and agreements with all our clubs over the next month to ensure all items are covered. This gives the clubs confidence in  a venue for the future to a high standard and ensure that BJPC receives the correct funds from the clubs to support the upkeep of this facility.

 

Access Control  for the  Lawn Bowls Club

The SPC is currently reviewing the access to toilet facilities for the Bowls Clubs to make access simpler for the ad hoc player s that turn up randomly in the summer months.
