We are pleased to announce following the recently published ECB guidelines the club has devised a plan to allow limited use of the net facility at the ground during prescribed times for practice.
Starting from Monday the 1st June we will open the ground on weekday evenings for practice. This is open to members only in either their family groups or for you with up to 5 other people from outside your household, as per the current guidance. A club representative will ensure the ground is unlocked however the pavilion will not be open.
Please NOTE the new net installation is still bedding down so CANNOT be used at present.
When will the ground be open?
Initially the ground will be open from the 1st June on weekday evenings only, all other times the ground will remain closed for practice. Times vary slightly from night to night, but each night there will be 3 x 50-minute slots available. Starting from the 1st June.
