East Surrey College finish the job

The East Surrey College's Painting and Decorating department recently returned to Merstham Cricket Club so their students could finish off the job of painting the inside of the clubs new pavilion which they started last April at the NatWest CricketForce event. The 16 or so youngsters are the college's full time Level 1 and Level 2 Diploma/NVQ students and this was an excellent opportunity for them all to participate in, not only for work experience but also covering a large part of the criteria of their course. It has also had a great impact on their confidence. The standard of work they have produced has been excellent with all the students involved taking great pride in every aspect and showing full commitment to the project from the beginning.

The East Surrey College staff have been extremely pleased with the professional approach of the students and the members from Merstham CC have been impressed with the quality of the work.

With the NatWest CricketForce weekend for 2013 coming up on the 6th and 7th April this project really does show what can be achieved by cricket clubs linking in to the local community and what it may have to offer.
