A chilly Saturday morning was braved by a number of hardy souls who turned up for the club’s annual workforce day. Not to be deterred by the temperature, around two dozen folk, young and old, turned up to wash, brush, spray, paint, fix and tidy up the ground, stand and changing rooms. A huge thank you to all who participated, particularly Adrian Parry who manfully organised and managed operations on the day as well as Nat and Chris for sustenance.
