A massive shout out to Harry Laing, 15, who’s been putting in serious towards his Duke of Edinburgh Award - cleaning dugouts, scrubbing sponsor boards, staining benches and repainting the entrance gates. Great work, Harry!

Also huge thanks to teams from Leek Building Society and Co-op Bank for giving their time and energy to help tidy up the club - real community spirit in action.

And now it’s your turn to help get your club in shape for the new season. Our annual volunteer tidy-up day will take place on Saturday 9 August, from 09:30 to 14:30. We'll need help painting, strimming, cleaning and more - and of course, there'll be free bacon butties for all helpers!

Even an hour makes a difference, so let’s pull together and get the place shining for the new season. See you there!
