Thank you to everyone who helped last Sunday after our final match was called off due to the rain. A call to arms went out for help to prepare the square for next year by putting it to bed this. In the pouring rain, the square was mowed, scarified and seeded. It was too wet to spread the loam, but we did lift 50+ very heavy bags of loam into position in readiness for that job.
After that little workout, we moved to the sightscreens and wheeled them into their winter position beside the nets. No easy job and thighs burned despite the old adage that many hands make light work (more hands next year please!). We stopped for a cup of tea.
Finally, the boundary rope was pulled in and coiled. There’s a technique to this, but not one anyone seemed to know! Matt D took charge and the rope has safely made it into a safe location for the winter.
We still need to spread the loam so please keep an eye out on our WhatsApp group for timings which will be weather dependent.
In the meantime, good luck to those playing in the end of season golf tournament this week and we look forward to seeing many of you at the end of season dinner on Friday.
