Kingston Bagpuize president Peter van-de-Mortel (seated) and chairman Mike Cox proudly survey the club’s magnificent new all-weather rink before their friendly match against West Witney on Sunday.

The £34,000 cost of this six-rink green was accumulated by a series of fund-raising events.

The task now starts again raising funds for the next replacement in 15 years time, the expected life of the carpet! Kingston lost the match.
