Full steam ahead for the new season!

A fantastic day at Wimbledon Rugby Club as 24 people from across the club helped to get the ground up for the season. Having dismantled and moved all of our grounds equipment at the end of last season due to the change in location, it was great to see so many lend a hand in helping put things back together.

The covers have been rebuilt from scratch and will be incredibly useful in ensuring the Great British summer rain doesn't have too much of an impact. The batting cage has been put back together to allow for on site warm ups pre game. The sightscreens have been freshly painted, so batters will be running out of excuses for those low scores...

All of the adult and junior training equipment has been sorted through and the storage container now actually has room to move. For those who saw it before, this is some accomplishment.

A huge thank you to all those who donated their time to help out - Akhilesh Sivaraman, Andrew Merriman, Andrew Woolley, Barry Brown, Debarshi Roy, Ed Fresson, Haydn Wilkes, Henry Peirse, James Calfe, John Jackson, Justin Calfe, Justin Wilkes, Lance Sapsford, Ian White, Mark Streather, Matt Bartlett, Peter Andrews, Oliver Jay, Richard Down, Richard Kendall, Rohit Nag, Steve Bastian & Tom Campbell.

A special thanks are reserved for Michael Chadwick, as without his technical expertise we wouldn't have been able to achieve nearly as much.
