Thought id start a topic to see how well/ill equiped people clubs are and what people would want in ia idea world.

At our club we have 5 teams and have just talked the directors into letting us get some covers for the 1st/2nd team sqaure with the view of getting a 2nd set for the 3rd/4th team square next year.

We have a mobile net which has a artificial surface for practicing in and we move the net on to the sqaure for taining and are looking to build a triple lane nets ASAP as well once we find a suitable place for it on the ground.

Other items on the wanted list are:-

Bowling machine- so you dont have to get 6 people to make a decent batting practice session
Catching cradle-Old school but get your reflexes going when using one IMO
Ground roller-improves the outfield as we use the space between the 2 squares for football in the winter[/li][/list]

Anybody think of other items that would help improve a club facilities and the playing standards of the players by benefiting from them?

we are really lucky at our club we got accredited with the ecb last year so we had loads of doors opened by that mostly the grants got 50k granted last year so managed to get 90% of the stuff sorted at club eg a new pavillion,new nets,ground refurb and loads more

A Skyer, some narrow training bats?

At our club we got a grant for some new nets for 2010- they are supposed to be test match quality nets- 5 of them and 2 moblie nets- �80,000!

yeah pretty steep for the nets �25,000 for ours but getting Clubmark sorted so 75% of it will be funded.

Got a Skyer off of Tom and sure i can chop down some narrow bats but we struggle to hit it with full size ones!! we rasied enough money to buy our ground for �240,000 and have some funds left over so looking to get it moving forward in terms of facilities as well now.

Wow, you guys really have some serious money to spend.!!
We are based in Malaga,Spain are really pleased as the ICC gave us a Flicx wicket and this was half our budget for 2010!

We got a brand new roller last year and a set of brand new covers, not sure how we have managed all these years with out them. Looking to purchase a decent mobile batting cage and a bowling machine but a little short of funds to buy both brand new so I'm on the look out for second hand ones.

If anyone knows of anything which is up for sale then please let me know, i would very much appreciate it.

tom i cant believe how little your club had considering how large it is and how seemingly well run and managed it is. We have, covers, slip cradle, skyer (mine), 2 middling bats, baseball mit, gang mowers which partly roll the outfield however with the tumps there is no point in rolling!, then roller and bowling machine with generator and other bits and bobs around the place...

my club is very good we have electronic scorebox. Catching cradle, two proper good practice nets with extremely good base so you get good spin and no uneven bounce. We have loads of rollers, mobile net also. The thing we havent got but we need is a bowling machine
