Pembury Football Club are based at Woodside Playing Fields and play each weekend during the football season. They currently have around 80 members. Their project will provide benches and a portable dugout. Chairman, Andy Rice-Tucker said “Pembury Football Club is both delighted and grateful to receive a Community Grant from Pembury Parish Council to support its efforts to improve the aesthetic of their pitch at Woodside. Also, the club is to receive partial funding from the estate of a former player and long-standing villager, Peter Hillier. The benches will serve as a permanent memorial, enable spectators to sit whilst watching and footpath walkers to suitably rest at other times should they wish. The club are hopeful that the work will be completed during lockdown and welcome visitors to the ground hopefully shortly.”
