There is however a newish pavilion, built around six years ago and there's a five-a-side pitch behind the home goal. The teabar is reputed to be excellent. Social Club: There is no social club |

| Ground Details:
A bold welcome message painted onto the back of the enclosure at Beechwood Park is probably the first thing a visitor to the ground will see, and upon entering the ground, you will see that this is a vast open venue. The main feature of the ground is a set-off-centre adequate and open shed/enclosure for that provides cover for any fans in attendance. The changing rooms are next to the covered section, while the pitch is surrounded by the customary blaes track (quite popular in the East region, it would seem). The remainder of the ground consists of flat expanses of grass that surround the oval, fenced off by black and white railings. The local bowing club tends to double as a club social venue. There is a teabar in the ground however. Social Club: There is no social club |
| Club
Information: The club were a very successful junior outfit from 1928 until 1959 before they went out of business. They reformed as a juvenile side, before turning junior again in 1983. For big cup games at Beechwood Park, around 100 locals can be tempted to come along and watch. League games attract far fewer people, generally around 15-20 from the village itself.

The
covered terrace was replaced a few years ago after most of the roof was blown
off in a gale a while back. Behind the goal on the side of the social club is
a large fence, and some free car parking. The ball often goes over the fence,
so the decision to park there is often risky. There are pies and bovril available
here, but I would advise you to bring a packed lunch instead! Social Club: There is a social club |
