The Lancashire Ground’s Association
Our aim is to promote the development of cricket ground care and maintenance throughout the County of Lancashire.
The game is unique in that the playing surface requires far more consideration, care and attention to detail than many other sports which is why the role of the ground staff is vital in ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment for all players.
