Development Plan

The development plan has been at the heart of the club’s management since 1998. The format is now on version three, to accommodate the ever changing ECB requirements, but the basic purpose remains the same.

Namely to identify A “what we have got”, B “what we want to have” and then “how we are going to get from A to B”.

Any member can get a full copy of the plan from the Plan Co-ordinator – Richard King.

2009 Development Update

1.DEVELOPMENT PLAN

We have planning permission for an extension to the main clubhouse but the ECB won’t support us financially in this.

We are therefore looking at the possibility of constructing a new clubhouse on the other side of the square where the old nets are situated. This would be a joint undertaking with New Milton Table Tennis Club and would be dependent on financial backing from the ECB and other grants.

An open forum meeting has been arranged with New Milton Table Tennis Club and other interested parties for 7.30pm at Bashley Clubhouse on Thursday 22nd October 2009 to discuss these proposals.

2.FENCES AND BOUNDARIES

We have successfully negotiated an extension to our perimeter boundaries on both pitches. We are therefore removing hedges, posts and trees adjoining both grounds and erecting new boundaries.

COME AND SEE THE WORK UNDERTAKEN AND HELP US TO CARRY THIS ON.

A WORK PARTY HAS BEEN ARRANGED FOR SUNDAY 18th OCTOBER AT 10.00AM.

3.MAIN SQUARE

Considerable work and expenditure is being undertaken to maintain this.

We are still in urgent need of a Groundsman.

Many thanks to John Neal for his unstinting work on the ground throughout the season.
