The latest email from the Chief Executive contains one or two bits of information:

"We’re investing a significant sum of money to improve the outfield drainage and hopefully prevent the disappointing scenes experienced on the final day last season.

We’ve learnt the lessons of last year and will be managing the fulfilment of Membership Cards in-house with plans to begin sending them out earlier than ever, well ahead of the start of the County Championship in April.

Off-the-field, we are freshening up the David Heath Suite with graphics and memorabilia celebrating the Club’s white ball history and replacing the seats on the balcony in front of the Lounge.

We are also replacing the big screen on the South Stand and introducing LEDs ribbons to the third tier. We know our screens have been poor for a couple of seasons so the new one will be bigger and sharper, with the LEDs also providing in-game information. As we re-develop, we will then move the new screen to a better long-term position."
