Loaming Day - October 2008

On a foggy October morning, the usual suspects turned out to support Sherwood’s Loaming Day, the first CricketForce 2009 event at the club. Six tons of loam were laid on the square following preparation earlier in the week. Support came from club members, including the youth section and not only was the loaming completed in record time but the outfield was mowed and the weeds surrounding the ground strimmed as well. There was a record attendance for the annual event which this year took place on 11th October.
