Marathon Cricket Match · 22 August 2008

The BPFA provides sporting and recreational facilities to the general public in the village of Blunham. One of our groups is a thriving cricket team of over 120 members providing adult and youth cricket in Bedfordshire. This year we have a fledgling youth football team joining us. We aim to improve our facilities this year by extending and refurbishing our pavilion.

Story

My local Cricket club, Blunham CC, has nearly 100 colts aged 14 and under. However our clubhouse and training facilities are totally inadequate. To support the work we are doing in coaching and encouraging these youngsters in taking up sport and an interest, we need to improve what we have significantly to ensure their progress.

We aim to raise £40,000 to refurbish and extend the existing pavilion, plus a further £34,000 for nets.

To raise funds towards this aim we are going to try to break the World Record for the Longest Continuous Game of Cricket. This will take place from 9am on Friday the 19th of September to 8pm on Sunday the 21st of September. 59 hours playing through 2 nights to beat the current record of 35 hours and unratified attempts of 50 and 55 hours set by our Antipodean cousins. It will obviously be very tiring so your support, however small, will be much appreciated.
