LATEST NEWS on the forthcoming Housing Development
Housing Development update
The latest news is that a Formal Planning Application has now been submitted to the Warwick District Council Planning Authority on behalf of Bovis Homes – under reference number W/19/0322 – for 7 x 3-5 bed dwellings to be built. They are to be located at the edge of the fields closest to Warwick Road. These dwellings will be the start of the development. The application and its associated documents showing the proposed lay out that is being applied for can be inspected by following the below link and by inserting the above reference number.

The Club’s Housing Development sub Committee are now considering this application and deciding whether or not to make comment on it.
The Reserved Matters stage for the remaining (now ‘up to 118’) dwellings in the development has yet to be formally applied for.
For your information, there was no formal notification to, nor further engagement with, the Club by the developers regarding this latest application prior to it being made and submitted to the Planning Authority, following our last meeting with Bovis Homes and their consultants in January 2019.
However, as promised, Members will be kept advised of any developments and news over the matter, when known.

Jockey – £3
Each jockey in each race is also up for sale, again giving you a chance to win £10.
Race sponsor – £20
Ever wanted a sports event in your name? Most likely the closest you can get for the money!
The evening event will consist of 7 filmed races of 8 horses and jockeys are available to purchase, with all proceeds going towards keep our amazing cricket club grounds in check after a bleak winter!
The final race will be an auction race, where we will be selling off horses and jockeys to the highest bidders – a chance to build on your evening’s successes (or recoup your losses!)

Rough cutting commences
Rough Cutting
Rough Cutting around the edges of the Ground has commenced today in preparation of the 2019 season that is nearly here to compliment all the hard work on the wickets and outfield that is currently being undertaken by our super dedicated team of ground staff volunteers.
The first such rough cut of the year has been completed on part of the Ground surrounds on a beautiful and cloudless morning.
More volunteers to help out with further rough cutting would be greatly appreciated.
Let’s make it a Ground for all of us to be proud of.
