This year, Rodley Cricket Club's Open Weekend, starting Friday 11 August, is being held in collaboration with Speedy Hire, and aims to raise the club's profile and funds for its junior cricket setup. The team is looking to break its own Guinness World Record, to bowl the most overs in 24 hours, targeting 2,000 - six balls every 45 seconds. The event expects to bring around 1,000 visitors to the club throughout the weekend. "We are hoping that we can do it on a regular basis so people will know about us," said Rod Rodley, who has been involved with the club since 2008. The weekend is expected to attract around 1,000 visitors, and features live music, the ‘Scruffs Dog Show’, food and drink stalls, and junior cricket activities.
