Annual Wicket Maintenance - Saturday 1st October - Many thanks for the excellent turnout !!!

02 Oct 2017

Dear All,

Thank you to those who made an effort last Saturday ,especially since the work was brought forward at short notice due to anticipated bad weather ,

I think we had 15 people at one point , which might be close to a club record !!

Also a number did e mail me saying they could not make it for various reasons, so thanks for your courtesy in that regard .

On the day we managed to spike the wicket ,distribute 70 odd bags of loam and finish off with grass seed . Also, sight screens went away and a few people tackled the tricky and time-consuming job of dismantling our net ( sadly vandalized and a potential liability to us if left as it was ) . Finally a guard has been put around the wicket to discourage too much footfall over the winter .

Our groundsman , Graham Francis, would like me to pass on his thanks . He was very impressed with the turn out and hard work and he is not known to be easily impressed ( sorry Graham ,couldn't resist that one !).

Regards

Steve
