Interested parties should contact Ian.

Furthermore: New Hartley are offering for free, a limited quantity of used cricket equipment; things like chairs, tables, scoreboard, Hose pipe, boundary markers, bails, some batting pads, paint, bins, and other bits and bobs - the two containers are also to go and most importantly, considering the weather, a bag of sawdust; rumoured to be Mr Halls last cricket bat!
