Cricket Force Weekend
The committee, and John Tadman especially, have been working tirelessly on planning the weekend, so to maximise our workforce. Projects in the pipe-line include;
- Building a Grass compound
- erecting some fencing
- Clearing out the old shed
- putting up the nets
- preparing the third net
- painting the fences
etc etc
So, if you can dig, paint, hold, carry, push, pull, drive, mow, prepare, cut, fill, then you can help us out. Nigel Blown will be cooking Breakfast for us at 9.30, so come along early, enjoy a fry up, then help us out.
If you are a plasterer, then you will be our most valuable asset, and may even get seconds at breakfast! Please e-mail FCC for more info.
