Trespass: It came to our attention over the weekend, that an unauthorised vehicle was driving on the main field. While little damage was done with the pitch being so dry, the marks on the grass are visible. If anyone witnesses anyone driving on our pitches in an illegal manner, they are to contact any committee member immediately.
