With a bit of brighter weather, repairs have been carried out on fencing at Broadway West. Next week the metal fencing beside the containers will be finished, and work will start on wood fencing beside the scoreboard.

We have received funding towards the purchase of some mature trees which are being planted along the boundary of Broadway West adjacent to the main road. Twelve planted so far with another 14 to be put in. Thanks again to the Ward Committee from Newcastle City Council for helping us.

We are hosting The Murder Trial Live at Broadway West over the next 7 nights.

In order that our pitches can be used all year round, we have had drainage works carried out. This has been funded by Sport England and the RFU, and our thanks go out to them

Work has started on installing new cable for our training floodlights to be used during the winter

Our volunteers have worked hard to remove all the old fencing near to the clubhouse, which was broken and unsightly. We have now started to erect new wire fencing along this stretch which will improve the look of our site.

We held a very successful social event at our clubhouse this weekend, and the clubroom looked great. As well as a christening, we also had junior and senior cricket and even a bit of baseball practice. If you’re interested in using our facilities, either indoors or outside, please get in touch by email

Volunteers from all our sports clubs have been working hard over the last two weekends, to repair, tidy, litter-pick, paint and clear our ground and clubhouse at Broadway. One of the major jobs has been to clear and strim the area around the cricket nets, which will allow better use of this important facility.

Thanks to all volunteers who have helped us out. There’s still plenty to do but its a great start.
