Dorset is very fortunate to have two county Pitch Advisors who are both able to conduct either informal pitch inspections or formal written reports. There is a cost of £50 for an informal or £250 for a formal report but your county board may be able to subsidise this by up to 50%. Contact keith.brewer@dorsetcricketboard.co.uk for details.

The Pitch advisors will also be able to co-ordinate the availability of machinery to your club but you must be a fully paid up member of the Dorset groundsmanship Association.
