It is with deep sadness that we share the heartbreaking news that our wonderful Site Manager, Tara, has passed away following a short illness.

This has come as a shock to us all here at The Acorn, and we are truly devastated. Tara was at the heart of everything we do — her infectious smile, bubbly personality, and genuine warmth made everyone feel welcome the moment they walked through our doors.

She wasn’t just a colleague, she was a friend to so many of us and a huge part of The Acorn family. The place simply won’t be the same without her.

We know many of you will have your own memories of Tara, and we invite you to share them with us as we remember someone who meant so much to so many.

Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Tara’s family and loved ones at this incredibly difficult time.

Rest in peace, Tara — you will be missed more than words can say 💔

First game of the season didn’t quite go our way, losing 2–7 to a strong Nutbrook CC side.

Still a really good night with a great atmosphere, and fantastic to welcome some new players to the team. Early days, plenty learned, and we’ll come back stronger 💪🎯

Big thanks to our sponsors T & M Grab Hire Services LTD for their continued support 👏
