Work on the Ground
To all members.
In order to be ready for the new season we need to make some improvements to the club house and ground. Some work is already in process – the square has had extensive work last Autumn and over the winter and the kitchen has been removed and is being replaced, but we need your help with other tasks. The sightscreen has blown over and been damaged and has damaged the fence; we need to remove the concrete of the old nets as this presents an unacceptable risk when we are using the bottom of the square and there is need to re=paint parts of the pavilion.
We plan to complete the work over two Saturdays between 9.00 am and 1.00 on 13th and 27th March.
We would like to see every member coming to help on at least one of the Saturdays. Please come in old clothes and stout shoes and be ready for some hard work. We will provide the equipment needed and tera / coffee during the morning.
Please contact Steve Gardner (snr) to let me know which Saturday you will be coming so that we can organise tasks.
Below is a list of jobs we plan to complete.
