A hectic but successful ‘cricket week’ comes to a close at @JohnLyonHarrow Games against the MCC and various teams as well as @QuaintonHall sports days and house cricket We finish off tomorrow with our ‘festival of cricket’ and various other sports before a well deserved rest!

If you ever want to know what the benefits of investing in drainage are, treat yourself to a round at Mill Hill Golf Club Absolutely superb condition considering the rain. Well done to all there. Shame the quality of my game didn’t match 🤣

End of another hectic but successful academic year with just about everything thrown at us again but very happy with the results We say goodbye to our wonderful head, Katherine. She’s been a fantastic leader and we’ll miss her greatly. A little send off from Thomas the Turf Tank

Growth regulator sprayed. A very nice feeling to know the new team have all the jobs in hand as we prep for pre-season in a couple of weeks. Time for a well deserved break before the start of the new term.

Well, considering I couldn’t walk on the fields a week ago I will certainly take this. All fixtures on. Hoping the possible snow stays away next week 🥶
