We’ve been very busy in recent weeks working on a number of playing field assessments. One of these was at Epping Forest district in south east Essex, notable for including a number of Olympic training venues. One of these was at Old Loughtonians Hockey Club where they had installed two, new, water-based hockey pitches of an identical colout to those in the Olympic Park. Royal Blue and bright pink is not the most subtle of colour combinations but it seems to work.
