Cricket Force Double Weekend

Dear All,

 

NatWest CricketForce is an England and Wales Cricket Board volunteering initiative aimed at rejuvenating cricket facilities throughout England and Wales. It encourages cricket supporters, their friends and families to give back to their local cricket club by volunteering to undertake renovation work in club houses and grounds, typically over a specific weekend before the season starts.

 

Petersfield Cricket Club has participated in this event for the last 6 years and we have had a good response from mums and dads and colts over the years who have helped improve the facilities.

 

This year we really do need your help as we are undertaking one of our most ambitious projects yet. Our focus this year will be back at Penns Place where we will be

• Installing a new kitchen and floor surfacing into the pavilion
• Replacing the surface of the nets which are now unplayable
• Replacing the surface of the artificial wicket which has been unplayable for a number of years

 

Due to the scale of the project, the work will take place over 2 weekends – 16^th and 17^th March and 23^rd and 24^th March.

 

Many thanks go to Matt Wickens and Howdens Joinery http://www.howdens.com/ who are providing all the units and materials for the kitchen. Many thanks also goes to Damien Broadhurst and Agincourt Contractors http://www.agincourtcontractors.co.uk/ who will have replaced the roof of the pavilion in advance of this. This work will help transform the facilities at Penns Place which is the home to all our younger colts and the 3^rd XI.

 

We urgently need your help with the following skills to help us deliver this project:

• Kitchen fitting/joinery skills
• Plumbing skills
• Laminate Flooring Skills
• Painting
• Ground work
• General DIY

 

We also would like someone with a trailer to remove the rubbish. This will save us hiring a skip.

 

Please can you contact the following committee members directly if you are able to help:

Kitchen - James Stratford-Tuke (stratfordtuke@btinternet.com)

Artificial Surfaces – Andy Salmon (andy.salmon@wspgroup.com)

 

We will need help on all 4 days to be able to deliver this project so if you can help on at least 1 day then please let us know which one and what you are able to help with. We can’t rely on help turning up on the day so please contact us as this will need a lot of planning. If we don’t get your support, we will not be able to deliver the project.

 

Kind Regards

 

Andy
