Letters from the club for a playing pitch were received in the local office of the Land Commission on 23 March 1977, 31 May 1978 and 8 September 1984. As the local inspector in charge subsequently met a deputation from the club and discussed the application with them, he did not consider a written reply necessary.
The estate in question has recently been allocated by the Land Commissioners, whose function it is in law.
