Press Release: Football mini-pitch development




Yesterday 50 gathered (the press never showed, despite offers of payment!) to announce the 2 month work project, starting Monday. The local chief and other dignitaries were there, and 7 speeches were given.

The almost triangular, irregular and uneven pitch serving immensely athletic sportsmen, who train 5 nights a week has been a source of irritation to Dave for the last 2 years. The ground also serves a primary school of 200 (behind the chief’s head), and many local events. Friends in Dunfermline, and the Athletic (football) Club have given money to help.

The plan includes 20 ft concrete walls etc, which local engineer Sami Sesse relishes building. Pray that there are no injuries or burst underground pipes! E-mail us for further details.
