Winsford Recreation Association A big thank you to everyone who has paid their membership for this year, so promptly, it is much appreciated. Some of you may not yet done so and have your money ready and waiting, don’t worry a collector will be with you shortly!

For those of you who love their cricket, there is an outside chance that local
games may start again in August, but this is still to be confirmed. In the event it
does, please come along and support Winsford, they have moved up to Division 2
this year and so have all to play for in the short time left before the end of the
season.

Due, I suspect to the wonderful weather we are enjoying, the tennis courts are
constantly busy from early morning to late in the evening. Even though they still
require a little tlc, they are playing well, so please take advantage and make the
most of this enviable facility!

Finally for the young or the young at heart amongst us there will soon be some
new football goals on the recreation field. At the moment only family members
or 2 friends may play together, but that said, there is still the opportunity for a
friendly kick around!

In the future when the social distancing bans are removed it’s hoped there may
be the opportunity for some walking football, so polish up those boots and be
ready for the call!!
