Throughout the winter we worry about the inevitable flooding at Kelham Road and how it will impact our facilities.

The recent dry spell has now brought a new set of challenges for our Volunteer Groundsman, David Rhodes and Doug Lynes, plus the Tuesday support team, who are now on site 7 days a week to irrigate and improve our playing surfaces.

Before the new season starts;

• 700kg of fertilizer,
• 600kg of grass seed,
• 90 tonnes of top soil,
• and 20,000 gallons of water (most days)

will mean that we will arguably enjoy the best playing surfaces in the East Midlands. This does not happen without a lot of hard work and the financial support from all of our Members and Sponsors.

A huge thank you to everyone who makes our club so special.
