Dear All,
Unfortunately this morning during the strong winds, the beer festival Marquee was uprooted and landed over the boundary of the club onto Richmond Close. We are very much aware of the Social media covering this incident. I have spoken to our neighbours and apologised for the distress caused. Minimal damage has been caused but more importantly no one has been injured. We were assisted by Lancashire fire and rescue service, initially securing the structure prior to full recovery. We thank them for their professional response. A full investigation will follow by LFR and the Marquee company.
Finally, can I thank all who have helped, assisted or visited over the last two days. Normal service will resume for today’s cricket game, with the club bar open. The planned food vendors will still be here and all are welcome.
Thank you for the amazing support shown to the Club and BCC, in particular our local neighbours
