Cricket Force 2022

Nat West Cricket Force is only a few weeks away on Saturday April 2^nd from 9am until 5pm. As ever we’ve got lots to do in preparation for the coming season, whether it’s tidying, painting, strimming, jet washing, cleaning, organising, fixing, or building etc there is no shortage of jobs to be done.

If you can come along it would be great to see you, even if you’re not up to helping out with any of the tasks, it’s always a fantastic club day involving much comradery and humour, plus as ever refreshments/breakfast/lunch will be provided. It all helps whether it’s half an hour or all day, and please feel free to bring along family or friends, the more the merrier!

Let’s hope the sun’s shining and we have another successful Cricket Force, the summer is fast approaching!
