On the wet Sunday morning of 23rd July, the pictured Jesse Matthews, Melv Warner and Greenkeeper Chris Shannon were the volunteers who turned out to cut the green ready for the match later that day against Wendover.
The green is mowed 2 or 3 times a week to keep it as one of the best playing surfaces in the county and because this work is done by volunteer club members while most of us are getting on with our lives, it often goes unnoticed, but I sincerely hope not unappreciated.
The people who work on our green alongside Chris are, in no particular order, Jesse, Melv, John and Wendy Rawson, Barry Green, John Ashfield, Peter Gibbons and when he is available, Peter’s grandson Will Gent. Those who regularly look after the grass surrounds and flowers are Roger Blackburn, Ian Griffiths, Maggie Gibbons and Ann Ashfield.
Please let them know their work is appreciated next time you see them.
