Any helpers?
Can you let us know if you can spend a distanced hour or two helping to prepare the ground for the summer? We have things to move, things to tidy and things to paint.

Or can you assist sometime by helping to supervise or coach a session, or part of one? You would have a Coach Assist session plan to follow if that helps.

Or do you have something specific in mind that you would like to help us with? Email dumfriescricketclub@gmail.com or have a word with Andy.

And good to hear Ben, James and Max took the time for a bit of personal development and participated in one of the recent online Introduction to Cricket Coaching courses from Cricket Scotland. [There is another one soon on the 15th but the Editor is concerned it might already be full !! ].

Sponsorship
We are pleased to have the Match Ball Sponsorship support of Thomson & Jardine Joiners and club legend Bob Murray for this season.

There are opportunities, as well, for Ground Sign Sponsors. Have a think and/or get in touch.
