Local Sporting Facilities

The Parish Council, on behalf of the Parish, owns the Memorial Playing Field and the pavilion on it, and leases them to the Sports Club.

Day to day organisation of sport is delegated to the Compton and Shawford Sports Club. Membership is open on payment of Ł2 subscription, and each section levies its own charge.

The present pavilion is a wooden building, some 70 years old and well past its "best by" date, which was originally a golf club house over at the foot of Shawford Down. Following a referendum in 1996, confirmed by a further referendum in 1999, we obtained planning permission for a new pavilion on the east of the field. We recently submitted an application to Sport England for a grant to help finance the new pavilion and better sporting facilities including a new tennis court.

The small playground at the corner of Compton Street and Attwoods Drove also belongs to the Parish and is maintained by the Parish Council.

Use of the playing field.

To protect pitches, please don't ride horses or bicycles on the field.

If you have a dog, please keep it under control and don't let it soil the grass. If the worst happens, for the sake of other users of the field please scoop it up. There can be serious health risks from dog mess. The use of the cricket square for golf practice is NOT permitted.

A children's playground with swings etc. is at the north entrance, next to Field Way.
