About Us
Our History
The field was bought for the village in 1980 by voluntary subscription and is now owned by the Essendon Playing Field Association (EPFA). The EPFA is a Charitable Trust (Charity No 281967) whose remit is to ensure "The Trust Property" (the field) shall be held upon trust as a recreation ground for the benefit of the inhabitants of the Parish of Essendon in the County of Hertfordshire in such manner as the Management Committee of the EPFA, from time to time, shall think fit.
The EPFA owns the field and as such relies on income and / or donations from events, both casual and organised that use the field.
The EPFA is committed to ensuring it shall remain an open space for the enjoyment of the villagers and their guests and reserves the right to act as it sees fit for the preservation of the field for this purpose.
The Committee
The Management Committee meets approximately twice a year, or more frequently if required, although a number of decisions / issues are communicated via email. The committee consists of 6 individuals with Martin Reith, the Chair, Ian Screech the Treasurer and Ian Venables the Secretary. The committee welcomes suggestions or nominations.
