Extension of club's training facilities to cater for community .

We are experiencing a huge increase in numbers at our cricket club and we don't have adequate training facilities to cater for the increase in player numbers. We have invested funds in our present training set up with internal nylon netting which the general public do not have access to. The new practise net would have a two fold effect - firstly to be open for public use and secondly, to provide for the expansion in playing numbers at the East Ballarat Cricket Club.

It will provide a venue for the general public to have a hit of cricket in a cricket net, which would be made available at all times. At present, our club's nets are closed to the public and they have to travel out of our immediate area to access such a facility. This would provide an additional sporting facility at Russell Square and allow both the club and public to make use of this net when required by anyone who wishes to use this proposed facility. With increasing numbers of participants the new net would assist with this demand.
