Pitch Advisor
Wiltshire Cricket's ECB Pitch Advisor is Richard Mosdell:
For any clubs that are unclear on the role of an ECB Pitch Advisor, the responsibilities are as follows:
- To advise on the quality performance of specific pitches / squares and produce recommendations (where necessary) for any improvements, which may include grant aid schemes (Prioritised Detailed Assessment)
- To monitor the developments of any facilities on which recommendations are being implemented
- To be available if required to assess pitches / squares in respect of various league criteria
- To create a response team for basic assessments
- To help build and maintain an effective County Groundsman’s Association
Additionally to this, clubs can contact Richard by email or telephone (details below) in order to receive free support and guidance on any grounds related issues. If clubs wish for Richard to conduct a visit to their club for any specific reason then they would need to negotiate the cost of this.
