On Tuesday 18th March our changing rooms major improvements started and should be ready for the season starting.

A quick list of some of the works.

• All new seating in all rooms which is boxed in with back rest on the walls, with heat vents.
• New locks, handles, door kick plates and numbering.
• All rooms to have none slip flooring (including umpires & first aid rooms).
• All room to have 3 coats of spray treated washable paint to all walls.
• All other wood work to be glossed.
• All new sockets and switches.
• New showers in the umpires room and room 7. 

Just to show the work which is going on in the background of our club, it has been none stop improvements for the last 3 to 4 years and this will give us a facility to be very proud off.

We have had a new sign made to go on the outside of our score box showing our club crest and name.

It looks really good and eye catching, see photo

Our grounds man was on our square on Tuesday 4th March, spiking and seeding a few small areas which needed attention, fertilising and the first session of cross over rolling.

We then had TSL over spraying our square for fusarium which we had on a few strips.

Saturday 8th March saw our square have its second rolling session and the outfield had its first rough cut with the large rotary, what a difference it makes. We intend to have our outfield cutter reassembled this week and get on cutting with this after it has had a good service and all the 5 gangs sharpened. 

26/2/2014 saw a good turn out at our 1st net at Blue Flames.

Nets are every Wednesday 7pm till 8pm last net 26/3/2014, members asked to make every effort to attend. 

We have been trying to book South North, however they do not have 2 lanes available for the dates we have, we could have booked odd dates but only for 1 lane, which is not what we wanted as we want to net as a club.

So we have booked Blue Flames staring Wednesday 26th February up to and including 26th March, starting at 7pm till 8pm, cost per player is £2.50. Hope to see as many members at the nets as possible, we have booked 2 lanes one for the 1st Team and the other for the 2nd team. 

We have organised a 1st team friendly with Morpeth CC to be played on Saturday 12th of April, 40 over game, venue Morpeth, Longhirst front pitch.

The 2nd Team are looking for a match on the same day.
