From Ann BoultonDerbyshire County Cricket Club’s groundsman is the first speaker of the Lincolnshire Cricket Groundsmen’s Association’s season of winter meetings.
Neil Goodrich will be at Lindum CC in Lincoln on Wednesday, November 23 when he will be speaking about the recent re-development of Derbyshire’s square and construction of the new pitch and will be answering members’ questions.
The evening begins at 7.30pm and is open to all groundsmen throughout the county, whatever the size of their club and also to anyone interested in learning more about ground preparation.
Membership costs £10 a year and gives priority on trips to Trent Bridge and the KC Stadium and also on the Allet Mower Factory tour. Members also received a discount on the pitch advisory service run by the ECB and operated by Lincolnshire Pitch Adviser Martin Deans.
This service includes a series of measurements carried out across the square to troubleshoot any deficiencies and to advice where improvements can be made.
At the recent Association AGM, long-serving chairman Howard Swain (PICTURED ABOVE) called time on his position and was warmly congratulated and thanked by a large audience of members on helping the Lincs CGA become one of the most well-established and well-run associations in the country.
Martin Deans was unanimously elected as chairman and secretary with Mike Savage as treasurer.
