Pavilion break in.

The Pavilion was broken into over Friday night 19th July and was discovered on the Saturday morning 20th July when the GC team members arrived for the match against Durham. The match was immediately postponed due to the state of the Pavilion inside – the outside main shutter over the windows had been forced and a window smashed to gain access. The cupboards in the main room were all ransacked, the equipment room door had been forced open. The Committee members were able to clean up over the weekend and “normal” service was resumed by Monday evening. Urban Green and the Police were informed and UG are to replace the broken window and shutter. After an inventory check, it was found that 2 hedge trimmers and 2 leaf blowers were stolen for which we could be reimbursed through our insurance claim.

This is the second major break in of the Pavilion, the last time was 2003 when, after replacing the plastic windows with double glazed glass and fitting steel shutters over all the windows and doors, we thought we were safe from intruders!
