BUSMAN’S HOLIDAY!


Keith Exton recharged his batteries in Singapore before taking over as Head Groundsman at the Swalec Stadium in readiness for the first Ashes Test of the summer. Despite the best efforts of his long suffering wife, Susan, he managed to turn it into a busman’s holiday by visiting Singapore Cricket Club


HERE’S a few shots taken at Singapore Cricket Club. The Head Groundsman was not around, so I did not get any real facts as to what topdressing they were using, although it was very black and actually felt very sandy to the touch.


It was mid January and they


were putting the square to bed! The temperature was about 30O


just right for a game but, apparently, their rainy season was approaching.


Not a bad looking club house. If you look closer, you can see another square and pavilion on the other side of the field, that had already be put to bed. They were preparing for a concert of some kind and, again, you can pick out the guys erecting the stage and lighting.


In general, when all the other sports pitches are taken down, quite a nice little venue to have a little bat and bowl. Oh, and that is Susan, the long suffering good lady wife, enjoying a Singapore Sling at Raffles. Just had to be done, so she tells me!!!
