It's almost time!!




Cricket season is only a few weeks away now and I'm sure that the odd bits of sunshine are getting everybody in the mood! We'll be starting our preparations soon.
On Good Friday we always get everybody down to the club to muck in with all the odd jobs... This yearly 'muck-in' session is known as the Good Friday Agreement...



Mostly, activities fall into the following categories:
- Painting something that doesn't really need painting
- Burning things (old or new)
- Doing the charity run (which no-one ever runs)
- Moving things to and from the old changing rooms which never appear to get any emptier or cleaner
- Scraping weeds from the paving on 'the-front'

If you are not involved in any of these categories, then you are likely to fit into either of the following two categories...
- Male (age 5 - 30) and can be found attempting one of the above activities for about half an hour before giving up and leathering a football at whoever is driving the roller or rhoberine!!
- Female (any age) and in the kitchen making brekkie for those 'at work'!!

But we really do spend all day hard at work to get 'That little club on Hacken Lane' up to scratch for the upcoming season and it certainly gets everybody in the mood.

Watch this space for photos and stories of everybody hard at work on Good Friday!!!
