cricketForce 2010 - Saturday 27th March
Cricket force is an initiative set up
by the England & Wales Cricket Board in 2002 to encourage cricket
supporters, their friends and families to give something back to
their local community cricket club by volunteering to undertake
major renovations to clubhouses and grounds.
At Spofforth we have been involved
since 2006, carrying out such major projects as building the new
electronic scorebox and extending the boundaries as well as all the
more minor maintenance work necessary to keep the ground and
facilities in the condition for which we as a club are renowned.
This year whilst we have no major projects planned
there is as usual much to do to get ready for the forthcoming Senior
and Junior Season. The club has set up a small sub committee,
under the chairmanship of the treasurer, with a view to making the
most of the opportunity. The sub committee has already met and
identified many small jobs that will need attending to.
We hope that you will do now is make a note in your
diary of the date and come down and give us a hand to spruce the
place up ready for the forthcoming season. There is plenty to do without going
to any great expense.
Ross Atkinson has agreed to hold a Junior Training
session so the younger children can be kept amused whilst many of
the older ones might get to grips with some CricketForce activities
themselves. There will be refreshments on tap and
who knows a barrel of something good might become available.
The club belongs to its members and we need all the
help we can muster so come and get "down and dirty" with us on
Saturday 27th March 2010 . For pictures of previous year's
