Anyone for

Cricket?

Would anyone have a spare set of cricket pads / stumps / balls / bats that they no longer use? Each year on New Years’ Day there is always played a match versus the good people of Bungonia. Now that the cricket season is over and/or you may have retired from the game; we were wondering whether anyone has any of the abovementioned they no longer need & wish to donate to the good people of Windellama. Various sizes are needed as the Windellama Team consists of various ages, from 8 to 88. These would be for all in the community & stored at the Hall & be used by the community.
