Fund Raising Show – Cancelled
Sadly, for circumstances outside our control the ‘Chas and Dave’ show has had to be cancelled.
Equipment Store Funding Progress
We have made some progress since starting our fundraising drive to enlarge the equipment store and, although we are actively pursuing other sources of funding, we still really need your involvement.
Using our link below makes the process very easy and enables those eligible taxpayers to claim Gift Aid which means the Trust can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you give. It will not cost you any extra.

New Storage
We need your help
We are asking all Racecourse users to help to raise funds for a new shed
The Trust maintains the Haverfordwest Racecourse which comprises 57 acres of recreational parkland and includes sports pitches, paths, woodland and meadow. This facility is free and is enjoyed by people of all ages from the local community all year round. It is particularly popular with dog walkers and is also used regularly by multi-sports groups such as Cricket, Football and the Park Runners.
We have obtained a new tractor and a specialised mower to create and enhance some wildflower meadows; this is in addition to the routine grass cutting. This new equipment exceeds our current storage capability and the mower has to be stored off-site.
We are about to proceed with a block-built extension to the current storage garage.
We need to raise £30,000 to complete this project.
The Haverfordwest Town Council have generously agreed to match any donations up to £7,500 so your donation could be doubled.
The extension will replace the ancient and rusting container

Racecourse Works
We hope that the various works that have taken place this year (benches, plinths, drainage etc.) will finally be completed with the laying of tarmac to the exposed areas of the footpaths.
This is expected to take place at the end of next week (16th, 17th November) and I’m sure all our users will exercise caution around the freshly laid areas and respect the workers doing the job. In particular you should control your dogs near fresh tarmac to avoid any paw damage or irritation.
One part of the task will involve the entrance from Ruther Park which will have to be closed until the tarmac is safe to walk on. Our apologies for the extra walk involved to the next entrances (the kissing gate on Park Corner Road and from Haven Park Drive).
