Dec 2006 - There will be improvements carried out to the clubhouse at TD in the coming weeks. Ed and Alison Breton will be looking to relocate the main mens toilets so that they are outside the changing-rooms and situated where the disabled facilities now are and will expanded to take some of the kitchen area. This is being done with financial assistance from the RFU. The bar area will also be altered, with the bar being reduced in length by about a third, providing more seating/standing space at the far end.
