Volunteers transform Shifnal over 2004 CricketForce weekend

12 April 2004

More than 100 volunteers converged on Shifnal CC over the Easter weekend to help the club carry out a mass of work at the club as part of CricketForce 2004.

Shifnal chairman Adrian Collins said: “It was a fantastic effort! The approximate value of materials used was £4500 – and 90 per cent of this has been donated, mainly from the business community.

“We have learned a lot from doing this project. We are enthused to do it every year – and 2005 is already being planned!”

The volunteers who turned up at the Shropshire club on April 9-10 2004, managed to do a mammoth amount of work on the clubhouse and generally around the ground.

This is what was achieved:

new kitchen fitted
bar refurbished
new floor fitted in kitchen and bar
toilets and showers painted
main clubhouse areas papered and painted
changing rooms painted
new curtains made and fitted
sightscreens painted
new wheels fitted to sightscreens
perimeter boards painted and repaired
storage shed moved and painted
fencing erected to create ‘social area’
maintenance strip dug and filled with shingle
tress and shrubs planted around perimeter
construction of new scorebox started
roadway repaired
