We are pleased to announce that the new sports changing rooms are now finished, and have been brought into use for the new cricket season.

The area consists of two modern changing rooms complete with spacious showering areas, a separate officials changing room with shower, and both ladies’ and gent’s toilets.

Built to equal or exceed the recommended changing space for football, cricket and rugby teams, the building replaces the tired and outdated facilities contained within the main hall building.

The extension has been designed and planned by the board of management and has been entirely self funded by the Sports and Social Club.

The inaugural Ridgeway Fun Run was held on Sunday 8th May in beautiful sunshine. Hundreds of people turned out on the day, either to run or to support.

Warm-up sessions were held for each race by Virgin Active, and for the 5k race assisted by ex world light-heavyweight boxer Clinton Woods.

The 2.5k run was held at 10:15 and runners did six laps of the main sports field. The 5k run started at 11:00 and left the sports area following a course via local paths and the main road.

A superb new kitchen area is being installed at Ridgeway Sports & Social Club.

The kitchen has been designed to offer modern catering facilities as well as increased space. There are stainless steel units and worktops, a commercial cooker and a quick turn-round dishwasher. These will benefit existing users of the hall, as well as making the whole building more desirable from a hiring point of view.

The new kitchen is now well under way, and is likely to be in operation alongside the existing one for the forthcoming Ridgeway Carnival on the 10th July.

Once the new kitchen is commissioned and tested, the old kitchen will be removed, and the space remodelled to make space for tables and chairs etc.
