Been to Chester le Street CC this afternoon to take part in the Cricket Force initiative:

You must be logged on to see external links


Painted fences, tidied up and generally loads of volunteers turned up to help out in preparation for the new season. I'm aware that there isnt a designated day for this just an initiative for clubs during the close season.

Anyone else been involved with their local cricket club or going to be?

As a matter of fact they did. Young kids, the committee, players, a right mix. It was a really good experience and TBH made me wonder if I should do some volunteer work a couple of hours a week in some capacity.
