The Club's new Community Cricket Project will offer 48 'Free Places' for coaching sessions to U10 children (Boys & Girls) and will hopefully see a large increase in participation numbers. The increased numbers will create 4 new Junior teams (Boys U7, U9 & U11's and Girls U12). Demands on the Club's grass wickets (used predominantly by seniors) is already at breaking point, so a new artificial wicket costing £12,500 is urgently required to cope with the increased demand.
