The opening of the ground at Thrumpton
When the club lost its former ground on Church Lane at the end of the 1967 season, Mr Seymour immediately offered the use of his park and since 1968 the ground has matured into one of the most picturesque in the County.The ground has featured several times on national television and was a great source of pride to him.
The opening game was played between the Presidents XI and Thrumpton Cricket Club on the 16th June 1968 and the ground was opened by Rear Admiral Sherbrooke V.C. Lord Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire
