Leigh Cricket Club – An open invitation to pre-season practice
The season is almost upon us and those of us of a certain disposition cannot wait to get a bat and ball in hand. I’m pleased to say that our indoor pre-season net practices have been confirmed for the following dates:
Thursday 23rd & 30th March and 6th, 13th and 20th April
6pm-7pm Copthorne Prep School (Effingham Lane, Copthorne, Crawley RH10 3HR).
Anyone from the village and surrounding areas who are keen to get involved with the club, in whatever capacity, is invited to come along. We’d love to see some new faces there.
We’re a club that is open to all. Whatever your age, gender or ability, we’ll give you the encouragement to enjoy your weekend cricket.
Our season gets underway on Saturday 23rd April and goes right through till the end of September, playing both days each weekend. Meaning there are plenty of opportunities for those looking to play regularly or just a couple of times a season.
In other news, the club has a new website www.leighccsurrey.co.uk which we’ll be continuing to develop over the coming months. We’re hoping that we’ll be able to use it to attract players to this beautiful part of the Surrey countryside to build a vibrant community club over the next few years.
The Committee has also been busy over the winter months finalising plans to renovate the patio area outside the pavilion. The existing slabs were laid quite a few years ago so it’s about time we freshened it up to create a nicer area from which spectators and players can enjoy the game. This work should be completed in the early part of the season once the weather has settled down a little, so we’d be delighted to see some local faces down at the club this summer.
