Chairman announces his Club Hero of the week for services above and beyond outside of game performance
He may wear the most luminous batting helmet in league cricket but Nick English is a shining light at the Park. It was a terrific effort to get the ground playable for this weekend’s league fixtures after the horrendous downpours on Friday and this was down to the efforts of chairman Chris Johnson, groundsman Ross Courtney and Nick who…
More of a hero – or heroes and heroines of the month – as we have missed a couple of weeks. So, we have several people to salute this week, beginning with Alex Richmond for sorting out the sightscreens, which had come loose and were something of an eyesore on the bottom ground. Our junior team…
It is always great to see the pavilion full of people for a social event and last Friday’s quiz night was just such an occasion. The event attracted 60 people with hundreds of pounds being spent behind the bar and on the barbecue as well as raising money through raffle tickets and entry money. The only…
There’s no one hero this week… there are too many of you to salute. Last Friday, was one of the busiest ever when the club was used for a social cricket match and memorial party for about 200 people. The evening was a great success all round but only thanks to the huge efforts of Lara, Nick English, Paul Sheffield, Charlie…
Two weeks ago we were singing the praises of Neil Pitts for his dedication and hard work with the junior section. We have to toast him again this week for his latest initiative, the Saturday Club for children aged eight to 13. It’s a superb idea – at a bargain price for mums and dads – to get…
It’s half-term and the club is playing host to three Charley cricket sessions, which bring together teams of under-13s from across Herts, Beds and Bucks to compete in a series of matches. These occasions have been hugely successful with dozens of children and their families coming to the Park. They take a lot of organisation, so…
Juniors are the heartbeat of Knebworth Park and we have seen an encouraging turn-out for our regular Sunday morning training sessions this season. This week, we salute the efforts of one of the club’s hardest working coaches, Neil Pitts. Neil has given the Sunday morning sessions plenty of impetus and energy; we will all reap the benefits of his efforts…
Junior cricket is the lifeblood of Knebworth Park but someone needs to sustain it. Step forward for a public pat on the back Wayne O’Brien, who has made Sunday morning training that little bit more enjoyable, especially for the watching parents, by taking on the kitchen duties. Attendance at the first outdoor training session on Sunday…
He seems to get a mention in this section every week for his sterling efforts for the Park. This week, however, Mark Folwell claims the accolade outright for his fantastic effort during Saturday’s wedding celebrations at the ground. It was, in the words of the chairman, an ‘awesome effort’ on one of the busiest days…
Well, this is a touch embarrassing! Chairman Chris Johnson has decided to award the accolade this week to, ahem, the website team. Setting up and running the new site has truly been a team effort and everyone involved should be proud of helping to create a dynamic, up-to-date resource both for those already at the…
