The day brings together a variety of speakers and practical presentations from the professional and recreational sides of the game of Cricket.
In addition to workshops and practical sessions there will also be a Market Place where companies will have trade stands providing, amongst other things money saving and fund raising advice, water management services from a partner of Kent Cricket Board Southern Water, Equipment from Hell4Leather and the Kent Cricket Supporters’ Club.
Raffle prizes for the day include a line marking machine, kindly donated by Rigby Taylor, a cricket bat provided by Hell4Leather and a pair of tickets to a County Championship Game at the St Lawrence Ground, Canterbury.
