We have a strip ready for practice on Thursday with a 6pm start.

We have also started on the strip for our friendly with Cramlington on 14.4.2012.

Following practice on Thursday we are asking members to stay behind and help push our sight screens in place ready for Saturday's match with Cramlington.

Saturday morning 31.3.2012, 4 members errected our mobile covers, the hardest job was getting them down from on top of our containers. Only job left is fit the hoses which can be done once they are on the sqaure. 

Season is getting close.

The warm weather has given the groundsman a chance to get onto the faclilties this week, we have a practice strip well underway and will be ready for out door training next week. 

The place is looking in good nick, our sqaure has good grass coverage and the outfield is lined as if it was ready for a match.

Sight Screens painted on 21st March 2012 that only leave us to purchase a new set of UPVC panels from our sponsor K Plastics.

Next job will be to re-assemble our mobile cricket covers, help will be required for this job as the groundsman cannot do this himself.

See to the right of this message we have a poll for members to answer, following on from our recent AGM with regards to our end of season presentation evening. 

We have organised a 1st Team friendly for the 14th April 2012 with Cramlington CC, following on from our friendly game with them last year, the match is the week before the season starts on 21st April when we are away to Berwick CC who finished 4th in the Premier league last season.

Saturday 10th March saw our square get its first cut.

Thursday 14th March saw the outfield get its first cut and the square get its first session of cross over rolling.

Friday 15th March saw the square fertilised as we are expecting rain on Saturday and a new scorers workshelf installed in the score box.

Saturday 16th March saw the outfield get another cut (looking good) 

Saturday 3rd March saw our groundsman on the square setting it off, using the 3, 4, 5 method, this year we had some square metal plates made with holes in the centre for our string line pegs to sit in. They will save us time in years to come setting off our cricket square.

Big thank you to one of our members Mick Watson who owns M.I.W Fabrication for making the pegs with the plates on top. Top quality job.

Not be long before we fertilise and then the cross over rolling starts.
