The #BrockwellPark cricket nets will be briefly closed today from 11am, as some volunteers will be doing a tidy up and some quick maintenance to the nets to ensure they stay in good condition. If anyone is at a loose end and once to help practice their “sweep” do pop along!

11 years ago I worked in a HMV store and it still remains one of the most surreal employments I’ve ever had. Here are some of the highlights:

Nice that there was another family there using them though. We’ll try to organise some volunteers to do a tidy up and do some repairs

[Alex Bigham @alexbigham]

Never too cold for nets!
Brockwell nets need a bit of tlc, think some young footballers may have been using them for practice…

Great to head down to the new Brockwell Park cricket nets tonight with a few players from @PloughmansCC

Been a while since we posted, but we’ve been chasing @lambeth_council to get some more funding and do some interim repairs on the #BrockwellPark nets. Just had this update from one of the officers so hopefully will be fewer flying balls next summer! 🏏
