Many thanks to those who gave up their time last weekend for the pre-season groundwork weekend.

Last week-end we held our first Natwest Cricket Force weekend. Members of the Club, family and supporters turned up to help prepare the Club for the coming season. A general tidy up was organised together with extensive work on the ground and playing square.

The pavilion and changing rooms needed painting as did the new storage container, whilst the sight screen needed some repair and cleaning.

Thanks to a sponsorship scheme from the ECB, paint and other materials were obtained from the Wolseley group and the work was completed with some time to spare by Sunday afternoon.

With the general success of this event the Club will look to repeat it in early 2013 and will be looking to involve more local companies and organisations.
