New sightscreens & scorebox at Kilmington

 

With Kilmingtons new pavilion only a matter of two years old, you might think that there wouldn't be much to do at the club for a while.... Far from it! Kilmingtons spring clean involved such tasks as strimming, oiling the bench seats, getting the kitchen spotless, tidying and cleaning the changing rooms to name but a few.

 

 

Apart from all the run of the mill chores, the main aim of Kilmingtons Natwest Cricket Force day was a new scorebox. A club member managed to secure timber at cost (plus a discount) and the scorebox was started. All man hours provided to construct the scorebox were free of charge with the club members chipping in to help where they could.

 

An unforeseen but extremely welcome bonus of Natwest CricketForce came from a member of the local community. The individual had seen the rather 'shabby and dilapidated' sightscreens and offered to help.

 

Well, the help came by way of a cheque to cover the cost of two new sightscreens, and the screens were delivered a day before the CricketForce weekend and were erected and finish painted the day after.

 

Once the scorebox is up and running, the club will have these extra assets to use, probably worth about three and a half thousand pounds, and only having to find around seven to eight hundred pounds from club funds.

 

The club would like to thank all those who turned up and helped on the day and have offered to help in coming days, and especially the very generous donor of the spanking new sight screens.
