Pavilion opening
The pavilion was opened on Saturday April 25th 2015 by Tony Lewis, Broadcaster and ex-England Cricket Captain.

The opening was a fantastic village event, attended by over 300 people.
A number of events accompanied the opening, including the Sawston steel band playing the famous test match theme tune, youth sports demonstrations beforehand, and 20:20 cricket match following, which the current XI won.
The pavilion has received numerous compliments, including being 'tardis-like', bigger on the inside than it appears on the outside, which is worthy testament to Vic Franklin's design work. The Trust also made a special note of thanks to Cath Beal, who wrote, coordinated and submitted the grant body applications, without which the project could never have been completed.
The opening also marked the award of 'Villager of the Year' to Maurice Palmer, chairman of the Pavilion Trust and project team. His unswerving dedication to delivering this facility to the community is now rightly recognised.
The Pavilion Trust wishes to thank everyone involved in the opening for helping to make the day a huge success.
