We were delighted yesterday,Monday 3rd January to host our local MP David Simmonds to our first team match against Flackwell Heath. This was David’s first visit to Preston Park, our home and was a great opportunity to showcase our facilities and plans for the future with him. Gary South, our chairman, was able to sit down with him prior to the match to outline the club’s vision for the future alongside the issues the club has faced like many in the last 2 years, with COVID-19 and its impact on the club.

David mentioned during the discussion, how impressed with our youth setup at the club, along with the growing Ladies section and looks forward to seeing all sides of the club grow in the future.

It was undoubtedly a very useful meeting and it’s good to know that our local MP understands the vital role The Hares play within the community and that we have his support. We thank Mr Simmonds for taking time out of his busy diary to visit us.
