The Club is situated within its own fenced site surrounded by large trees,
bushes and gardens, all of which are maintained by the Club.
The
members of the Club have, over the years, financed and provided all the
facilities which can be seen at the Green. We have a permanent pavilion
which was erected in 1970. a grant from the Wakefield Council
enabled the installation of a permanent ramp to enable disabled members
and spectators to easily access the green.
