Dear All,
The season is fast approaching and at our Groundman , Graham Francis, is already working hard towards preparing another excellent playing surface for 2018 .
Where we can assist him is in getting some person power to come down to the Community Hub on Sunday 15th April and do some of the other jobs in preparation
In particular :
- The sightscreens need a damn good clean ( and probably ) paint . A pressure washer will be available for this task and paint brushes / paint ( hammerite !) will be provided .
- The protection around the wicket needs to be taken down and put back along the car park hedge to minimise lost balls !
- We have a new ( well "pre-owned" but in very good condition) net that needs to be assembled .
- Miscellaneous jobs that Graham or others might need doing . Probably a further tidy up of the garage to remove surplus kit /gear would be a good use of time .
The turnout for the wicket maintenance last October was excellent ,so something similar would be much appreciated . The more of us, the less time we all need to spend there !
Regards
Steve Philpott
