Anyone opening up today as the litter hasn't been picked up yet? I need to get that done before sorting out the clubhouse ready for tomorrow's game.

Not me today Elaine.

Need to see a few more faces next week or we'll be back to the normal three/four/five.

A bit late that Ian, I had already done two hours by that time. Where you having a lie in?
John McKay, barrowabc and myself turned up today. However John had to take Tommy home as he took ill. Hope he is ok cos he didn't look too good.
Les was there of course doing the washing.

Ian, I've got some decent pieces of scrap metal I can bring down tomorrow. I'll DM you for a drop off point.
It all comes 'round again.

Credit to all the volunteers who have spent their time improving the ground over the close season, it looked really good last night.
Well done!
I read earier in the thread that the yellow markings behind the cross bar goal were to be removed and perspex putting up at the cage area.
Is there still plans to carry out this work or has this been stopped by the safety officer / board?

As Elaine say's, more to do with the dreaded, OTT, world gone mad H&S guidelines than anything else.

Mike Forsyth is looking into what we can or can't do regarding that area.
