The Field Board

e Field Board, organizes baseball and softball activities each year for children ages 5 through 15. The field is also used for many other activities throughout the year for children of all ages up to later 90's. Soccer, ultimate frisbee, basketball and the play structures and slides are among its uses. The Field can also be used by the Emergency Management Service personnel for aerial evacuations. As a “Public Charity” The Field Board is funded by donations. About half of the yearly operating budget comes from investments set up by the Trustees of Sanderson Academy in a Permanent Fund. Some of the ABC's funding comes from the Ashfield Firefighter's Association. The current Wall Reconstruction Design Project is partly funded by the Town of Ashfield. Liability insurance for The Field and fire insurance for The Field Barn are provided under the town's umbrella because a corner of the playing field is owned by the town with no demarcation of boundaries.
