Great Chart Cricket Club

Hi Everyone,

It wasn’t that long ago when if rain was needed, Great Chart CC would organise a boot fair. A few seasons ago, over a 2-3 year period we had to cancel something like 8 out of 10. Losing the first one this year was obviously disappointing because it’s always good to get the fundraising off to a positive start.

It would seem that the Met Office/local water companies have developed their own tactic; they declare a drought. I don’t think that it has stopped raining since the drought and hosepipe ban was introduced!! I cannot remember the last time we had so much rain at the start of a new cricket season. Let’s hope it improves soon.

As Paul mentioned in his last blog, many thanks to all those members who gave up some of their time to help get things ready for when we can finally start playing with particular thanks to Howard and Keith. The ground looks great. The work done by Ivan and others saved us a good sum of money and offset some of the shortfall from the lost boot fair.

I’m not able to provide any further update on the vandalism at the moment because this is still on-going. We will be diligent in pursuing this.

I hope to see you all soon.

Cheers,

Nigel
