Official council opening of the new Southwood Pavillion

Our new £1.1 million home has been officially opened.

The pavilion in Grasmere Road, Farnborough, was built thanks to funding from The Football Foundation, Sport England, Rushmoor Borough Council and the dedication of the club’s members. The council also helped by pulling together a bid to the Football Foundation for more than £500,000. As well as offering a base for the football club, the pavilion boasts catering facilities and a function room that can be hired by local groups for events. It has also provided a home to the local Safer Neighbourhood police office.

Councillor Peter Moyle, Leader of Rushmoor Borough Council who officially opened the new pavilion said: “The new pavilion is a great facility that has not only provided a new home for the football club, but will also offer a focus for the local community for years to come and we are very pleased to be part of its success.”

Rushmoor Community Football Club has just been awarded Charter Standard Community Club of the Year for Hampshire as recognition of its quality and commitment within the community. The club prides itself on giving opportunities and developing youngsters in all areas, including coaching, refereeing and being involved in running a football club. Steve Read, Club Secretary, said: “We are delighted with our new facilities and we hope they will help us to go from strength to strength as a club.”
