A bit of history
We moved out of the old corrugated changing rooms in June 1996 into our new clubhouse with 4 changing rooms, a smart club room and all mod cons. An extension to provide additional storage and allow for the club room to be increased in size was added some 10 years later.
Never ones to stand still we intend to continue to improve our facilities for the benefit of our members and the wider sporting public. The list below details the developments we currently have planning permission for. We intend in early 2022 to make further representations to the States to provide for further improvements over and above those already completed or detailed below.

Approved planning applications and completed projects (date of completion)
- Clock - we have full permission for a clock to be fitted on the pitch side roof of the extension. A clock is a traditional feature on a sports building but not at present a priority.
- Canopy - full permission granted to provide roofing over the patio area, this will allow spectators to watch matches under cover
- Patio doors - The patio doors will be replaced and relocated forward to the edge of the patio thereby creating additional space inside the club room. At the same time disabled access ramps will be created to improve access. Est. for completion is May 2022.
- Patio upgrade - We have acquired a number of stainless steel and glass balustrades from the La Grande Mare hotel site. This will be fitted along the front edge of the patio to provide some and will look very smart when fitted which we hope to complete before Easter 2022.
- 01/03/2017 - In conjunction with the Guernsey Cardiac Action Group and the Lions Club of Guernsey we have installed a Public Access Defibrillator near front entrance.
- 28/3/2018 - The patio has been extended to provide additional seating areas and a wall erected at the end of the patio to help alleviate wind issues off the coast.
- 31/3/2018 - With the exception of one of the garage units all lighting is now all LED providing a significant reduction in our electricity bills and helping to save the planet.
- 5/6/2018 - In time for the 2018 world cup we have upgraded both of the TV's in the bar by acquiring a new Samsung 65" and a 55" model. A further larger screen TV will be acquired in time for the 2022 World Cup.
- 31/1/2019 - We have recently revamped the heating and hot water system with the old oil boiler being replaced with an electric system.
- 31/3/2019 - Following the recent water leak the flooring throughout the changing rooms, toilets and lobby area has been replaced (see picture in gallery).
