BOSSES behind £40m plans to redevelop The Rose Bowl into one of the country’s top sports grounds have unveiled plans to re-launch their Executive Club to businesses.

Work to convert The Rose Bowl, the home of Hampshire cricket, into a 23,600-seater Test cricket venue, complete with four star “resort hotel” and 18 hole golf course is due to start this year.

Now Hampshire Cricket is hosting a series of events to showcase the plans and tell businesses about the changes to its £350 a year Executive Club, which is targeted at business leaders. The club has refurbished its Robin Smith Suite and introduced a “bistro style” restaurant.

More than 300 business people are expected to attend the two events taking place on Wednesday, March 11 from 12-2pm and Thursday, March 12 from 6-8pm at The Rose Bowl’s Robin Smith Suite.

Kevin Smith, Business Development Manager at The Rose Bowl, said: “The Executive Club offers Members a compelling package for business entertaining at a first class sporting arena. We have limited membership to 500 in order to retain its exclusivity and we expect to sell these fairly quickly. We would welcome those who would like to find out more about the benefits to come along to the two events in March.”
