If those who only come to play on a Sunday will not help with maintenance a solution must be found, it weighs too heavily on a few trusty souls, the reward of involvement wears thin when relied on too heavily!

Rota to be printed off for each person and a copy to be put in the pavilion any changes and swaps to be marked on the pavilion copy so every one knows and can step in to help. Our field is brilliant, if you like playing on it then please help to keep it that way.
