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


Nothing special to be honest. New patio needed finishing, fences needed painting and nets were put up. We have a lot of people that care for the club and want to keep it looking beautiful. Link below to our website, photos of the ground on there.

I played a civil service game at your place in 2012 wayward. out in the sticks from memory and a slight hill from one end (nearest the pavillion) down to the other 9I think it was a farm type place that we kept trying to hit the balls into).


decent ground, nice pavillion

It's a bit out of the way, surrounded by fields mostly. Slight slope from the pavilion going away towards the nets. Batsman love trying to hit 6's over the wall and into yard, it's a pretty big hit. The owners decided to add a massive greenhouse this winter, another target to aim for. In recent years the outfield has been lightning, difficult task being a bowler there.

if I remember right, if you are batting at the top of the hill end, there is a big tree on the boundary to the right?? I kept putting a bowler in there on the pull in the game I played.. he didn't learn the decks not really a 'bouncy' one very quickly :)

We have two trees in play. If you are right handed and batting from the pavilion end, we have the massive oak at square leg and a smaller on one between mid off and cover. Only a couple of batsmen have ever cleared the larger tree, it's huge.

As a club we are not organised enough for anything like that. Plenty of nets and indoor 6s up till the start. Weather has definitely been getting better into the later months recent season, it would be sods law no doubt if the season did end up stretching into late sept, sun splitting the trees Mon-Fri and WET Sat & Sun. Maybe thats just the pessimist in me.
