Great News! SCC has secured an extension to its Swindon Borough Council lease which means that the Club’s ambitious expansion project can go ahead.
As part of the £6.3m Moredon Sporting Hub development, the Club has been allocated an area of land to enable expansion from the existing three full lawns to five full lawns so it’s now all systems go! There is much to be done, including erection of perimeter fencing, procurement of additional balls and hoops, levelling of ground and preparation of smooth lawn surfaces, along with installation of a storage unit and a players’ shelter. Having five lawns will provide significant benefits such as all-year-round play and the ability to host major national croquet tournaments.
Club Chair Clive Smith said, ‘There is a lot of work ahead but this is certainly an exciting time for the Club as we will be able to welcome community groups and, of course, we are keen to attract new members.
Croquet provides gentle exercise, mental stimulation and it’s a competitive game, but the emphasis at our Club is always on enjoyment in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The Sporting Hub development at
Moredon means we’ll attract far more interest from the Swindon community; it’s all positive and very exciting!’ Interested?
