We have a Ground Works session set for Sunday 12th February at Wellington Playing Field; there will be plenty to do so a good number of Club members are asked to give up a few hours to assist with the work required.
Contact Simon Rudd or Richard Henwood for details.

We are to take part once again in Cricket Force this season; the project runs from Friday 30th March – Sunday 1st April and will focus on the installation of an access gate with keypad to allow those who wish to come into The Long Hop Bar to enter and depart in an easier fashion than is the case with the current gate arrangements; such a new gate will be built next to the current double ornamental gates.
During last year’s Pavilion renovation a trench was dug and cable was laid to allow for this job to be done and we have selected NWCF 2012 as the time to complete matters; labour will be needed to make this a reality, so a commitment from Club members will be sought soon.

The first section of our autumn groundworks operation has been started today with scarifying been the main aspect undertaken as we look to develop our Courtland Road ground’s playing surface.
Using the techniques gleaned from the IoG course that we hosted on Sunday 11th September a team of Club members lead by Simon Rudd and Richard Henwood has embarked on a three day schedule of works to see that we have the best ever autumnal renovation we have had access to.
If you spare any time over the next couple of days then please contact Simon Rudd or Richard Henwood.

We host the autumn portion of the Somerset section of the IoG course on Sunday 11th September and will be represented by Simon Rudd and Richard Henwood.
For the three days after this we have access to a quantity of equipment, through the Somerset Cricket Board, that will be used to renovate the square as part of our on-going work and plans to make the playing experience at Wellington CC as good as it can be.
