I see that and raise you a swimming pool, two sports halls, squash courts, 4 fives courts, an all-weather hockey pitch, tennis courts, six cricket pitches (converted to however many rugger pitches in winter) including one that is used for county matches - all of course with a full-time groundstaff.
