 Fun for all at Coulthurst

Roger Beck, Chairman of the Coulthurst Craven Sports Centre Management Committee, a self-help Registered Charity, said
“This project will significantly increase the provision of sports facilities at the sports centre and therefore access and opportunities for the benefit of the whole community in Craven"
 
John paid special tribute to the work done by Andy Hailwood and the West Riding County FA.
"The project had come to a standstill until Andy came along.
His knowledge and experience helped us to overcome barriers and complete the work"
 
Women & Girls, disabled groups, ethnic groups, local football clubs, schools and Craven College will all be encouraged to make use of the new facilities.
 
Foundation Chief Executive, Peter Lee, welcomed the news...
"The Coulthurst project will leave a lasting legacy for players in the area and one that will be accessible to everyone"
