Living nearby to the new Trowbridge Rugby Club I have watched it grow from its foundations, literally. On this bright autumnal morning it was hard not to be impressed by how successful this investment has been.

The rather boxlike old clubhouse that used to sit at the end of Green Lane has been replaced by an impressive country club style building and the three matches that were on as I passed were obviously well supported.

As mum to two girls and wife of a keen cricketer I’m not Wiltshire’s greatest rugby fan but it’s clear that on this occasion someone in Trowbridge has got it so right.

Any chance of an all-weather hockey pitch now?
