CULTER BOYS CLUB

IN THE last issue, we highlighted plans to develop land acquired to the south of Culter FC Juniors football pitch at Crombie Park , which could provide a permanent home pitch for Culter Boys Club and give a major boost to community sport on Lower Deeside .

The lack of our own pitch and changing facilities, mean that our boys have to travel tor their home games as well as away ones and that we normally have to hire Council pitches of variable quality.

A company with charitable status called Castle Ltd has been formed to investigate what will be required to develop the acquired land and transform it into first class playing and changing facilities. Ideas for the long term include a sports pavilion with changing rooms, a club committee room, kitchen facilities, general purpose sports and recreation rooms plus a full sized grass playing area and an all-weather playing surface potentially suitable for football, hockey, tennis, cricket practice and other sports.

Pictures of the site and more information on the plans can be found on the Culter Boys Club website at www.culterboysclub.co.uk

The project will be officially launched on the evening of Tuesday 18th November at Kippie Lodge starting at 7.30 pm and anyone with an interest is invited to attend to hear more about the detailed plans and the fund raising challenges ahead. For more information on the launch evening, contact Culter Boys Club Secretary Stuart Davidson.

In the meantime, two of our teams have been successful in securing a regular  venue for their home games at Webster Park in Kingswells, a new Council owned facilitv managed by Kingswells Community Centre. The Under l3s have already started playing their home games here and the Under l5s will follow when their season starts again after a break for the October holidays.
