Dear Club Member,
With the cricket season well under way and the majority of membership renewals in, we thought it an appropriate time to update you with what’s happening down at the clubroom and forthcoming events.
Refurbishment work: Sponsored by Sport England grant and Club funds
The building refurbishment work to the first floor changing areas and toilet/kitchen areas are now completed. If you have not already inspected the areas please feel free to look around.
This just leaves the replacement heating and introduction of a ventilation system to be installed within the next 3-4 weeks.
Main Club Room
We are all aware that the main circulation area of the club room requires a facelift. This obviously is not going to be a cheap exercise and we need to look at how we can fund this.
To progress the work, the Club is looking for a team of members to form a working group to put forward ideas of how the interior of the room should look. This will then enable us to obtain quotes for the scheme.
Please- Please, contact a member of the management committee if you would be willing to join such a group and help the club. Don’t just sit on the fence and complain!

And finally ........
Our Sports and Social committee are desperately short of members. With Derek standing down as chairperson after several years of service we REALLY do need additional members if the committee is to survive to provide future social events for club members. If you would be willing to make an active contribution please contact any member of the social committee. This involves a couple of hours at a committee meeting once a month and help at the events.
We look forward to seeing you at some of the above events. |
