SACO representatives Tim Barber (Vice Chair), Andy Johnson (Secretary) and Colin Wetherley-Mein (Appointment Officer) were invited along to the opening of the new pavilion and facilities at Allscott last Friday.
Chair Jay Allen kindly gave us a guided tour of the new facilities, including not ONE but TWO large officials changing rooms and of course we had to test out the bar area with a drink or two.
Allscott have been very kind in the past to our SACO allowing us to use their facilities for meetings and training events and SACO wanted to mark the opening of the new pavilion by presenting a commemorative engraved glass plaque.
We at SACO look forward to continuing our excellent partnership with Allsoctt moving forwards.
