NatWest CricketForce is an England and Wales Cricket Board volunteering initiative aimed at rejuvenating the nation's cricketing facilities.

Volunteers are more than welcome at any time during the day, depending on what time they can spare.

They will be working with professional trades people on tasks such as general cleaning, preparing for painting, tidying up, painting and general assistance.

Volunteers should contact the club on 01723 365625, or just turn up on Sunday.

The club is still on the look-out for professional trades people, especially joiners, who might be able to give some 'in kind' support.
