As always, the club welcomes new members and any newcomers to the village can ring me on 01923 268953 for details of how to join.
With financial assistance from the Parish Council and Dacorum Borough Council a programme of renovation to the outfield was undertaken last autumn. The benefits of this work will be seen in spring after the first few mowings.
This season we shall be running “young cricketers” at three levels: under 10s, under 12s and under 13s. Sides have been entered in the Herts. colts leagues and games will be played on a variety of days. Full details of the fixtures will be available in the soon to be published fixture card and will be displayed in the pavilion. Weather permitting, we hope to start training on The Common in early April. Older young cricketers are welcome and there is room in the weekend sides to accommodate them.
We are planning a programme of social events, starting with a quiz evening on Friday 20 May which will be followed by games, evening discos etc. The major event will be a Summer Ball on The Common on Friday 8 July.
