Attended by the Burnside family, the new addition to the clubhouse marks the renaming of the boardroom to the ‘John Burnside Suite’ in dedication to the late committee member.

Burnside, a devout servant of local football, was instrumental to the development of Institute, helping to inspire the club from intermediate level to the Premier League.
