When lunch eventually came (the delay being entirely the fault of the players rather than Martin, who kindly catered for us), Nottingham had crept to a 3-0 lead, though rather unconvincingly. Ian had a quick win in the afternoon to take the pressure off and we finally ended 6-1 ahead. Our next opponents are Edgbaston.

On a glorious spring afternoon, Ian Burridge won the John Hansen trophy for the one-ball competition, with 5 wins out of 6. James Death was runner up with the same score, but lost out on the who beat whom principle. Ian Draper was third with 4 wins out of 6. Thanks to Peter Death for managing the event.
Irrigation installation report
Tue, 9 Apr, 2013 12:18 - Ian Vincent

The installation of the irrigation system funded by the Inspired Facilities grant is nearly completed, despite the wintry weather. All the sprinkers are now installed and connected up: we are just waiting for a soil moisture detector, to enhance control of the system, to be delivered.

The first step was to dig a trench to install a pipe and control cable around the outside of the lawns:

The trench was then refilled and the turf, which had been removed with a turf-cutter, replaced:

A pit was then dug for each sprinkler, which was connected via a tee-joint welded onto the pipe:

The sprinkler itself was connected via atriple joint:

so that it could be accurately positioned

before the hole was back-filled with shingle to keep it stable

Finally, each sprinkler was tested (it helps to know where to stand!)

and the entire cycle run
