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.    

The rugby club has the Newcastle v Sunderland match on TV on this Sunday.

There is also a Poker Night on March 10th at 7pm £10 buy in lets see if we can get a number of our members to attend. 

Hirst High School have exams in the sports hall all next week so they have cancelled our cricket nets, please pass this onto the players who were not at the last net.

We have completed the improvements to our scorebox with a larger viewing area extended by 3ft, 1st Inns area moved to accommodate viewing area and we have purchased new numbers to match in with our numbered boxes and we have installed improved internal lighting. Just shows that we as a club are allways looking to improve our facilities.

All works was carried out by skilled members of our club.
