Extreme Lawnmower Required
North Luffenham Cricket Club is looking for anyone interested in helping out with maintenance of the cricket pitch on the Oval
Currently Ken and Bill keep the square and pitch in excellent condition, and visiting clubs comment favourably on the playing surface
They are now looking for assistance with the weekly maintenance and particularly the “putting to bed” of the pitch at the end of the season
The weekly trim and pitch preparation takes approximately 1 hr per week
If you have an interest in lawns, garden machinery and cricket, they would love to hear from you
Please call Bill on 01780721216 if you would like to help out
