The one in 100 year flood returns for a fourth time! - June 2007
Flaming June it wasn't! Global warming it might be because the river Derwent was only supposed to flood once every century - it has however now flooded four times in eight years! June 26th, 2007 was a bad flood with 5 feet of water covering the hockey pitch. But, with a great effort from club members, juniors and their parents 25 tonnes of sludge was removed from the pitch and hockey returned only a few days later. |
