Suspension
of all cricket during 2020 (March 2020)
Following
Government and ECB directives in March 2020,
All club cricket related activities were
suspended until further notice, these included
all training, match preparation, fixture
planning and matches.
There was
significant flood damage to the ground and
particularly the square over the winter
of 2019 and into spring 2020.
We successfully
applied for a grant from Sport England.
Once the government directives change and
funds have been made available, there will
be a plan to purchase and implement the
remedial work on the square. This is dependant
on when restrictions are lifted, ADC are
able to recommence work on the outfield
and supplies and facilities become available
to plan our work.
Its likely
to take several months to implement the
work once all the requirements for safe
working are met, we will supply updates
on the status when we know more.
We thank
all the VP's, Players and friends of our
club for the support we have had whilst
we attempt to keep the club going in these
challenging times - thank you.
