Many of you in the area will have visited the recreation ground at some time and, if it has been since June last year, you can't fail to have noticed the major works that have been taking place.

The former pavilion has been totally transformed into a modern, clean and bright amenity, for the parish to enjoy and make use of.

A brand new meeting room (some would say a mini hall) has been created, with the benefit of catering facilities adjoining.

Changing and shower facilities have been installed, for the use of sporting events held in the field, and also for the home games of South Zeal United.

Also, thanks to the bringing together of the former Social Club, which was sited a the top of the village, and the Recreation Ground Association, a bright new snooker room has been created, to give a new lease of life to the club and give the players facilities to be proud of and enjoy.

In this bulletin we feature the "Snooker Club" and give details of how new members can join the club.

The "Snooker Room" has been equipped with a new table and also one of the existing tables has been improved and re-clothed. The facility has a warm and welcoming atmosphere and we are sure many of you who have always had an interest in the game can now take advantage of what must be one of the best facilities in the area.

The "Snooker Room" is available from 10am-10.30pm

To play on a regular basis, membership is required. A member is permitted to have a guest player, on an infrequent basis, but to take full advantage of the club you are encouraged to pay the annual fee.

The membership year runs from April 1st-31st March.
This coming year the membership will cost £20
Junior membership, for under 16s will cost £10

New Pavilion officially opened

Many members of the community came together on Sunday 28th March, to take part in the opening of the new facilities in the recreation ground at South Zeal. The cutting of the ribbon was carried out by Eamonn Dolan, manager of Exeter City FC, who commented, " I had a mental picture of what i might be seeing today and, seeing what has been achieved, it far exceeds those expectations. The facilities are something for all to be proud of." He also gave mention of the community programme, that Exeter FC were developing and, that the project achieved in South Zeal, should be the start of something good that could be built on. He declared that Exeter FC would always support such causes.

Ray Souness (Chairman, Recreation Ground) thanked all those involved in the planning, funding, building and support of the project and thanked Eamonn for agreeing to open the Pavilion.

After the ceremony, members of the public were invited to look around and enjoy some light refreshments, whilst chatting with the interested parties.

South Zeal FC have already made use of the changing facilities, with two games over the weekend of the opening .
