We have planned a inter club game to be played on the 11th April 1pm start around 30 to 35 overs. Get all the members used to playing on grass again.

We will also be holding net practice on the square on a practice strip and on our bowling pad with our practice mat. Watch out for news about when these sessions will take place.

Our club will be attending this event any members who wish to come along let your chairman know ASAP. See detail's below or visit the EXPO website 

Cricket Club EXPO returns in the spring of 2015 following three more successful exhibitions at Headingley, Edgbaston and The Ageas Bowl in 2014.

Our 2015 schedule will see us visit Lord’s for the second time, the Newcastle Cricket Centre, home of South Northumberland Cricket Club the North East ECB Premier League Champions and finally the SWALEC Stadium in Cardiff.

Again we’ll be welcoming cricket clubs from all over the country to meet the companies that do so much to improve everything for cricket clubs up and down the land.

Our shows will be open from 10am to 5pm, and entrance is free.

Everyone is welcome to attend, from players, committee members, coaches, volunteers or simply followers of the game, but all visitors must pre-register here.

Have you dusted down cricket gear ready for our cricket nets on 5th March 2015 at Blue Flames, 7:30pm till 9:00pm?

See the countdown clock in both top corners of our web page.

Do you know anyone interested in trying out at our nets if so bring them along we are always looking for new playing members?

Your club recommends that all members consider signing up to their own Personal Accident Insurance.  Whilst serious injuries are thankfully very rare, however it is a possibility and members should consider taking such a policy out. 

Your club does not have personal accident insurance for its members.

If you are self-employed or do not benefit from a workplace sickness scheme with sickness pay you should consider this type of insurance especially if you are not fit enough to attend work, please ensure that any personal accident/sickness insurance you consider, covers you playing club cricket. 

As requested at our AGM, we have booked the Rugby Club for our fancy dress, for the 27th June, the 1st Team play Bomarsund at home and the 2nd team play Bomarsund away.  We will ask the Bomar lads if they are interested in attending as a number came last year for the crack.

What should be the theme this year, last year it was a 80s night, how about - TV personalities, sports stars, pop stars, film themes or anything goes.

Theme ideas to your Secretary or Chairman. 

The dates and times on offer from South North were not suitable, so the club were left with no alternative but to go back to Blue Flames nets start 5th March 7:30pm till 9:00pm. We hope to see a good turn out as normal. Once we get into April we will try to net outside as much as we can weather permitting.

We have registered with NatWest again to take part in the 2015 cricket force event which takes place Saturday 28th March 9:00am start.

We will be doing our normal work which is building up our mobile covers, sight screens, sorting out our scorebox, tea room and kitchen so they are all ready to use for the season starting in April.

We have been accepted for a Jewson Privilege Account where we put in £50 and the ECB credit our account with additional money, (we are just waiting to be contacted by the local Jewson Manager so we can set up out account) this money needs to be spent by 30th September otherwise we will lose it (no fear of that, as we spend quite a bit on paint and tools and odds and sods etc. during the season).

Tuesday 27th January saw a good turn out at our clubs AGM as normal, no changes with our committee and senior officers.
