Story
There's been a huge amount of work going on at Mackays Forthill, home to Forfarshire Cricket Club, to bring the ground back to past glories.
There will be lots of high profile domestic and women's cricket played there this summer but the ground can't host an international game until it can put an electronic scoreboard in place. These are pretty pricey, so that's a bit of a block at the moment....
However, Tom Bruce (13), u15 player and 1st XI scorer, has decided to try to do something about this. He previously raised just over £200 to replace the scoreboard windows (after complaining he couldn't see out of them to score!) by doing a sponsored silence. An electronic scoreboard is a bigger deal, though, so the challenge has to be harder...
So....DRUM ROLL...Tom is taking on the challenge of a TECH FREE SUNDAY!!! Anyone who knows teenage boys - and especially Tom 'Techmeister' Bruce - will know how sore this will be!
Tom will use no tech (no phone, tablet, computer, console or TV) between 9am and 6pm on Sunday 30 April.
Please support this attempt - any and all donations gratefully received!
Updates throughout the day, with proof of no tech use, will be posted on Twitter @ferryforfskwiks and Facebook page Ferry Forfs.
Thank you!
