"As a club with similar objectives to ourselves, Whitley Hall Cricket Club have proposed they are willing to take over the site with a view to restoring it as a cricket venue and will meet the capital expenditure needed to achieve this objective.”
Adwick proposes that is in the best interests of the club for it to be formally dissolved and its assets transferred to Whitely Hall Cricket Club trustees, as prescribed in its Constitution and Rules.
