The Association joined with the Isle of Wight Education Authority in the remodelling of the school at Newchurch village. It contributed a large sum of money towards the construction of a dual purpose hall. This hall is known as a Community Centre as well as a Hall for the School.
	The Association acquired approximately 5 acres of land at Watery Lane for use as a sports ground.
	The Association built a Pavilion, with changing room facilities and  a meeting room on the land. This land is used as a football field and flood lights have been erected.
	The Association also gave permission for the building of an Observatory on the field for the Newchurch based Vectis Astronomical Society.   This facility, which was purpose built, houses a large telescope and excellent equipment for visual and specialised observing techniques.

 

	The Association also acquired approximately an acre of land in the village behind the Pointer Inn to form a small recreation ground. This land is hopefully to be developed as an area for the children of the Parish.
	The Association leases a field from the Isle of Wight Council, on which the annual Garlic Festival was held. This field is leased on a three year lease and may be available for other activities.

	The Association has also provided substantial grants towards the cost of the building of a village car park; towards the building of Newchurch Village car park; towards facilities for the Community Hall as well as annually allocating grants to Parish based organisations for many different projects.
