It's that time of year again. Pitches marked from scratch. String lines & crisp white lines. Thank goodness for the recent rain!

Busy morning. Slit, seeded, brushed, cut and as I type it's just started raining.

Still quite soft in places on the training pitch but people still want to train.
Managed to get the @GreenTekGroup
Aeroquick over it today.

So another weekend with no rugby. I appreciate there has been a bit of rain but what hope do you have of your pitches draining when they run in to a brook owned by @AnglianWater that haven't been dredge for 40 years and looks like this after the slightest rainfall
#lossofearnings
Thursday's weather forecast gave me hope that we may get some rugby on this weekend.
Then this happened!
Will it arrive, who knows, but as a precaution youth chairman has made the right (in my mind) decision to cancel.@BillericayRFC
@Billericaybees
Nothing I could do to get the game on this weekend. @AnglianWater Willowbrook is blocked yet again. Haven't seen a contractor at the club for a while. Never seen the floodwash field like this. Water flowing over the banks. Another weekend of lost earnings for @BillericayRFC
Thank goodness for a dry 48 hours. Managed to get @BillericayRFC @Billericaybees pitches slit and marked before non stop rain till Christmas Eve according to @bbcweather.
We've a full mini and youth programme on Sunday. Hopefully not too much damage will ensue!
Match Day prep on a Tuesday?
Yes, seeing the weather that's forecast.
Both slit and marked. Let's hope the training pitch makes it.

Not posted for ages, but I'm still here plugging away. I've been trying to protect this one over the summer before it gets abused for the next nine months.

Pitch Renovations @BillericayRFC courtesy of @ParkersPitches underway.
Holes today, sand and seed tomorrow, rain next week.
The Groundsman God's are smiling on me for once.

Spent another few hours punching holes on the training pitch today @BillericayRFC .
Stripes despite the mud!!!

About 10 hours over three days on the tractor this #groundsweek aerating.
Training pitch in two directions, main pitch just the once over.
Haven't posted in an age, but the work still goes on.
It's been a tough winter @BillericayRFC with plenty of rain and pitch used 6 days/evenings a week. Nearly at the finish line and pitch renovations by @ParkersPitches being booked in.
Big @BillericayRFC home double header this weekend. We will be raising money for the @NiallStringerF, so I thought I'd have a go at putting a logo down on both pitches. Not too shabby!

Post hole soak aways a low spot on the training pitch
14 x 1m deep 4" holes filled with 20mm shingle, topped with 70/30 sport mix
Will throw some seed, but being used 6 days a week, I'm not holding much hope it'll grow
