We've got ours next weekend (saturday and sunday). Hopefully the weather will be good in the saturday to encourage lots down to the ground.
I'm not sure how many people will want to venture out to labour on Easter sunday.

Built a fire, made the tea. Pretty good effort.

Little we to begin with but covers back on, nets sorted, fence painted and garden done plus the frames of the screens assembled. More down tomorrow and another weekend at it next week (problem of having 2 grounds).

Gone are the days when county players came to affiliated clubs to help for a few hours - we had Will Jefferson and a few others from Notts when it first started. It's a good idea but these days it's some weekends before the season starts to get ship shape.

I did the cricket force days in 2010/11/12 but since then haven't bothered. They seemed well supported the first two years but the last year I did it and then from what I've heard they aren't that well supported. Mainly just the usual suspects in a  t-shirt.

Good idea, but people are stingy with their time now.

We had 4 people turn up which out of a membership of around 40 was a bit poor. The weather wasn't great though. However, lots got done.
Those who did nothing have no right to complain.

ours was supposed to be tomorrow but I moved it to today due to the forecast. My Dad and i started work and then 2 hours later one other person turned up. Dad went home at 1 and one other member turned up at 2.

got the fence fixed and garage stained so was productive of the people that turned up just a shame more of them didnt

We had around 50 people turn up today, most popped along for a few hours. Last year, we had over 70!

What were you doing? Building a new pavilion? Fair play to your members. Good to see so many turn up, shows a good club spirit

70 we consider 7 a good turnout.
