Saturday 10th November 2007 - Save Cricket Website and Calendar and online petition launched.
Gordon Brown is spending £100 million to provide five hours of sport for every child in Britain. Two hours of sport will have to take place out of school at local clubs. Our volunteers already provide this opportunity week after week, year after year, at no cost to the tax payer. £20,000 is a mere 0.002% of his budget but it is a huge amount to a voluntary sports club! We WILL raise the money and MUST NOT let sports facilities be gradually eroded away.
