The only way to get to grips with this game is to play …and play …and play .

| KBC/KCC Parking |
The Cricket Club owns the property and we lease our part of the building and share the use of the carpark. Now sessions are becoming busier we do need to remember the parking rules and ensure that we park with due consideration for other users. Usually the parking arrangements for KBC members should be as follows
- DO NOT park on the grass
- First arrivals to park up to the fence line adjacent to the building works
- The next row (and subsequent rows) must be parked hard up to the first row. Do not leave space for vehicle movements. It is not necessary as we all leave at the same time .
- DO NOT park against the walls of the Cricket club
- Emergency vehicle access to our front door should be maintained at all time. Do not park in such a way as to obstruct this.
- Leave access clear to the parking spaces for those with disabilities.
Occasionally there may be a need for a different parking arrangement and if that is the case someone will be there to direct you.
Thank you for your compliance.
Jane Mackenzie
