Nottingham cricket clubhouse handed over
A new cricket clubhouse on Victoria Embankment in Nottingham has officially been handed over thanks to the Field of Dreams Project.
Nottingham-based contractor Willmott Dixon was one of more than 50 local partners which helped to build the clubhouse on Victoria Embankment at the Meadows Recreation Ground.
The contractor teamed up with Trent Bridge Community Trust- representing Nottinghamshire Cricket Club & Nottinghamshire Cricket Board, Nottingham City Council and Maber architects to deliver the project.
The new clubhouse hopes to drive the trust’s aim of maintaining cricket’s status as the sport of choice for the city of Nottingham and the wider county.
Nick Heath, operations director at Willmott Dixon in the East Midlands, said: “We are extremely proud to have been part of this project which is driving important sporting initiatives across Nottingham, encouraging more people to engage with Nottingham’s cricketing heritage.
“We selected this project as the Willmott Dixon Foundation regional Trainee Challenge Project for 2015, meaning we were able to provide a number of young people opportunities to gain real, on the job experiences throughout last year.”
The new clubhouse houses four changing rooms, toilets, showers, disability access, and rooms for officials, kitchen area, and external viewing area.
