In order for the week to run smoothly, we will need lots of volunteers to help with the bar, BBQ, scoring and umpiring our friendly matches and setting up and cleaning down each day.

We ask that for each match you play, you volunteer for at least one other day/evening - this helps spread the work across us and not relying on just a small few of us.

 

We will particularly need lots of volunteers for the first evening - Friday 18th July - the live music and cricket has been advertised across the village so it is going to be EXTREMELY busy for us, will need all hands on deck that night in particular (as well as help across rest of week)

 

If you are able to help then please reply to the poll here with any availability you have by Sunday 6th July: https://forms.gle/Fjbph8ArNvfEjztF9

I will follow up the following week with those volunteers to organise shifts based on availability.

 

Hope to see lots of you playing, volunteering and spectating across the week, let's make it bigger and better than last year!

 

Thanks,
