St Tudy Playing Field

 

St Tudy Playing Field is close to the centre of the village and it can accessed by a footpath which is opposite and about 5metres beyond the Primary School on Redvale Road.

The field is a facility which is used by the whole community for a wide variety of purposes such as the carnival ...

... Youth Club activities and football matches for children and adults ...

 

The now well "Over 30" fun football team.

It is the official home venue of our burgeoning children's football club and has even been a reserve location for the Church Fete. Its most regular use though is on a daily basis by the youngsters of the village who use it to casually play anything from hide and seek, to street hockey and basket ball.

 

The field was originally bought in the Spring of 1932, by Harold Schuster the Rector on behalf of the Carnival Committee. It cost £180 and was paid for with surplus carnival funds and the help of a grant from the National Playing Field Association of £30.

A constitution was created through the conveyancing agreement and a Committee of Trustees was established to include a Secretary, the Rector, the Chairman of the Parish Council and representatives of the Church and the Chapel. Although the actual personnel have changed from time to time over the years, this Committee has continued to manage and maintain the site. This could not have been done without the support of the School, the Parish Council, the Cornwall Rural County Council, NCDC, the Foundation for Sport a nd the Arts, the Cornwall Playing Fields Association and of course the villagers themselves!

 

The Playing Fields New Round-a-Bout

             

 

PLAYING FIELD TRUST

The field was purchased in 1932 for use in perpetuity as a recreation area for the people of St. Tudy with special consideration to the needs of children.

The trust is a registered charity, largely funded by donations from users.

 

 

St Tudy Playing Field News: December 2008
 
I am delighted to announce that our attempts to secure grant funding for a new piece of fixed play apparatus has been successful. Following a vote by the children of St Tudy Primary School, it was decided that the preferred option was for a see-saw, which should now appear early in the new year. The Trustees wish to express their thanks for the donations received, and to St Tudy Parish Council who will be providing £100 towards the cost.
 
Turning now to new projects, the Trustees have been invited to submit a bid to the North Cornwall Community Play Programme. Our bid is an ambitious one, and seeks to broaden the appeal of the play facilities so that there is something for all ages (0 to 19 years !).  Some artist's impressions are below. The proposal is to install a wide range of challenging fixed-play units, with the area dedicated to this type of activity more than doubling. We would also like to improve the visual appearance of the entrance to the playing field. Naturally, there is expected to be strong competition from other communities for this type of funding, with the outcome of the bidding competition being announced in February 2009. If we were successful, we would hold a public meeting to explain the scheme, but if anybody has any suggestions or comments, or would like further details on our proposal before then, please do get in touch.
