New cricket ground

The new cricket ground at Butt's Field, Bowerchalke is being prepared and should be ready for the 2010 season. It will be a satellite of the CVSC. There will be grass and artificial turf wickets, net areas, car parking and a timber pavilion with showers and toilets. Games will continue to be played at Broad Chalke until the new ground is ready. The pavilion, estimated to cost about £80,000, will not be ready as there are not enough funds to build it yet. The target funding for the whole ground is £150,000.

For comments see The Chalke Valley Forum. Here are some progress photos 1 and progress photos 2 of the new ground preparation.

An appeal has been launched for funds to prepare the ground and build the pavilion; please send contributions to Peter Bell, Honorary Treasurer, CVCC New Ground Appeal, Knapp Farmhouse, High Lane, Broad Chalke, Salisbury SP5 5HH; telephone 01722 780752.
