PAWLETT held a special family day to promote its new cricket pitch and forthcoming 3G soccer surface.

The new facilities were funded through leisure grants from EDF, Sedgemoor District Council and Viridor.

There will also improvements to the Multi-Use Games Area, and new floodlights, drainage and an artificial cricket wicket.

Nigel Burt from Pawlett Sports & Playing Fields Association trustee said he was delighted with the new facilities which he said would be an asset to the community.
