Just to let you know that last Saturday a few hardy souls turned up to help at the inaugural Jewsons Cricket Force Day at the club. This is a day that is sponsored by Jewsons and Cricket Scotland to encourage clubs to maintain and improve their facilities. This was ideal timing as we were already planning to crack on with a few pre-season tasks that day anyway. During the course of the day, the pavilion was tidied up inside, with a skip being filled to the brim with rubbish, and other bits and pieces that have been lying around cluttering up the club without adding any value (No, the Chairman was NOT put into the skip, despite satisfying all those criteria!!)
Meanwhile outside, the rubbish that was lying around the containers were cleared and moved. The old practise nets were dismantled (as they were a H&S risk) and left for Asam to take to the scrap merchant. The wooden skirting around the clubhouse is gradually getting replaced and a wooden fence was erected to screen the containers from view, as much as possible. It goes without saying that we should name those that put the effort in. So thanks to Jim, Gordon, Mark G, Robert, Paul, Neil J, Jack J, Naveen, Jenny, Greg and Iain for giving up their time for their club. Those that just want to play cricket should once again be grateful to them.
Of course, this is only the start and over the coming weeks and months you will slowly start to see an improvment in the general look / feel of the facility and make it, once again, aesthetically pleasing on the eye.
