Whilst I was pleased to read of the recently completed refurbishment project at the Maiden Newton & Cattistock’s clubhouse I was somewhat concerned that apart from mentioning the grant received from the Football Foundation towards these works, no mention was made to others who were involved with this project.

I would like to make it clear to your readers that without the additional support of Minterne Estates (our ground landlord) and the generous financial contributions received from Dorset County Council, West Dorset District Council, the Frome Valley Parish Council and local supporters of the Club, who contributed in total to over 50 per cent of the project costs, these refurbishment works could not have taken place.
