Having looked at Google Maps, the best way to get to the club by car, is to come up Tile Hill Lane, turn right onto Banner Lane and then left along Astoria Drive which then brings you out onto Broad Lane, turn right and the Club is a few yards away.
I am unsure as to how Bus Services are affected.

The ECF have just issued the new grades for July. You can check here on this link your new grade:-
Please note the text regarding grading : -
This is the first provisional edition of the July 2017 grading list. It is based on games played up to 30th June.
The August revision, as always, will be definitive, as it may include corrections and late-reported 2016-17 events. Many leagues will adopt the August revision for eligibility purposes.
