The new carpark at Broadway West is now open for business. In the last couple of weeks it has been well used, especially for Mini/Junior rugby on Sunday mornings, where it has provided a much safer environment for both kids and adults. This has also removed the need to park on the highway. New signs and fencing will be erected in the next few weeks.

There’s less than three weeks to go in the Persimmon Healthy Communities competition. Please remember to vote for us every day.

GRFC along with GSA have been successful in securing funding from the Co-op to improve access to the clubhouse and increase our security systems covering the grounds and buildings. This will provide easy and safe accessibility to the clubhouse for all.

The Co-op have generously given us £1,248.21 towards this work which will come in extremely useful when carrying out our on-going improvements.

Gosforth Sports Association has been chosen to represent Persimmon Homes North East in the final and it is now up to the public to decide on the winner with online voting under way for six weeks until March 16.

Unfortunately we have been vandalised 3 or 4 times in the last week destroying floodlights, new light bollards at the front of the clubhouse, damage to cricket nets and CCTV cameras, and breaking into containers. The police have been informed.

We are determined that this will not jeopardise all the good work that has been done so far by our hard working volunteers and we appreciate your on-going support.

Come and join us on Saturday 4th November.

Thanks to Newcastle City Council Ward Fund, who provided GSA with the money to purchase materials for our new bin store, and also thanks to our hard working volunteers

Thanks for Tesco, for their grant which has been used to repair and relay paving, and for the purchase of solar powered lighting for the clubhouse. And  big thanks to all who voted for us in Tesco stores
