GROUNDFORCE

This page hosts a pictorial guide of the work carried out thus far by our volunteers at Glenhead Park, Duntocher. Work began in March 2003 in preparation for season 2003/04 - our first term at Glenhead Park. Improvements and maintenance continued during summer of 2004 and 2005. Much of our funds go towards materials and hiring contractors to carry out larger projects at the ground. But it is the work of the volunteers who carry out essential duties that really makes it possible to play at Glenhead and whose efforts have provided such pleasant surroundings for our home games. It's improving all the time.

Workdays are often planned on Sundays and volunteers are always needed before and after matches to help keep the terraces and the pitch in good shape. Please contact the club if you can lend a hand or speak to one of our officials on match day.
