Weaving School and Newbury Rec Committee agree on field access, parking and conduct ahead of season
Summary
Representatives from The Women's Club/Weaving School and the Newbury Recreation Committee agreed to reintroduce parking cones, reinforce a 'carry in/carry out' trash policy, and coordinate schedules for softball and Little League to avoid conflicts; committee members assigned follow-ups and noted a July 1 backstop timeline.
Representatives from The Women's Club/Weaving School and the Newbury Recreation Committee met April 7 to confirm shared use arrangements for the town's softball field and adjacent property. The guests — identified in attendance as Jane, Danielle and Justin I. — and committee members agreed to again place cones to prevent parking next to the Weaving School and asked coaches to remind players and families to stay off the Weaving School porch. The committee said the backstop is expected to be delivered and will be taken down on July 1.
Committee members assigned logistical follow-ups: Erin Pellegrino and Kelly Schlegel will send Justin the Central Vermont Little League (CVLL) practice and game schedules, with CVLL's game schedule expected to be released April 15. The committee reiterated an existing trash practice — "carry in, carry out" — and asked coaches to perform a post-game/practice sweep to keep the field and the Weaving School grounds tidy. The group also noted a Bake/Plant sale scheduled for May 15–16 when the field will not be available.
The arrangement aims to balance community programming and the Weaving School's access. No formal change to field rules was voted on; instead the committee assigned staff and volunteers to implement and monitor the agreed steps.
