A huge congratulations to Jon Gray of Compton & Chandlers Ford CC who has won March's Volunteer of the Month!
Jon's ongoing volunteer work has been recognised by his peers who have nominated him for many reasons, including his amazing work in connecting the club and community through providing state school children with an experience of cricket comparable to thier private school counterparts. Some of the experiences including cricket under the lights, rope slides, safari tripa and mountain treks. For state school pupils, such a trip is rare if not unprecedented, particularly as the club and its members raised funds to cover the tour in its entirety. On the trip, the 28 young participants also raised funds for the Dreamflight charity which takes children with a serious illness or disability on a holiday of a lifetime to Orlando.
Jon also volunteers in many roles at Compton & Chandler's Ford CC and is one of a small number of key individuals who have ensured that the club's achievements in growing participation in recent years have far exceeded anything the ECB or HCB have asked of them.
Jon has won a pair of tickets to Hampshire Hawks vs Middlesex in the Vitality T20 Blast on the 26th May!
We recieved a large number of nominations this month which is amazing as it shows how great our volunteers are around the county and the hard work they put in.
A huge congratulations to all the nominees:
All nominees and winners will be entered into our end of season Grassroot Cricket Awards which will take place towards the end of the season...
Keep up the hard work everyone!
