There were questions about parking and the hire of the building for large parties and wedding receptions. In response, trustee Bill Gourlay said one of the guiding principles is for the pavilion to be ‘something that inspires rather than annoys’. All use will be closely monitored to ensure it does not become a nuisance. Sport takes precedence so, realistically, the number of receptions will be limited. On parking, Fernhurst already has one of the largest car parks of any comparable sports club: what is needed now is more considerate parking, a few white lines and for more people to walk to the Rec. It is a victim of its own success.
