stand that much play, and the state of the cricket outfield. It was agreed

play might have to be postponed in wet weather. ACTION:VH

the field, to be funded by the RFMC and stored by the Cricket Club ACTION SW/LC
6) Cricket
Club: There would be a separate Hiring
Agreement. ACTION:SW
7) SW stated that further hiring of the pitch were not
envisaged.
8) The Cricket Club had been using mole traps on the
field. It was agreed that the traps in
use are potentially hazardous to children
and should not be used in a playing field. The need to control moles was generally agreed, albeit there is
also concern about cruelty. The CC will
have to find another way.
9) The wire around the pitch was also agreed to be a
hazard, especially since a girl had been hurt at fete day 2 years ago. Tape is too fragile. The CC would find a way to make the barrier
more visible.
