Early in 1995 Laportes works decided to pull out of running its
club which was then known as Laportes Social Club. And to soften the blow off
losing the club and all its facilities it was offered to its members to take
over. Laportes would sell the ground and the old clubhouse for a nominal rent to
its members. A committee was formed as to how they could operate the new club
and build a new club house. With the help of new commitee and solicitors the
nessasery funds were raised to build a new club house it was acheved with the
help of Banks Brewery who loaned the new club £200,000, the Sports council
provided £35,000 for the building of changing facilities for all sections,
£50,000 was then raised by various methods to complete the building of the new
club.
At the end of 1995 an AGM meeting was held by all members and it was
decided to rename the club the name chosen became: Moorfield Sports and Social
Club.
