Dear All, Most of you will be aware of the increased activities going on at the cricket club. We are trying to involve the local communities more, hold more social events, encourage people to come up for a drink on match days etc. As you can imagine, all of this doesn't just ‘happen’ ! There are a number of people involved in the club who give up some of their time, voluntarily, to ensure the smooth running of all local events, functions, tea’s, groundwork, finances, coaching, bar, training and many other activities which take place every year. The club could do so much more and be integrated further within the community, as well as providing better facilities with the assistance and support of more people. I would urge anyone who is interested in the future of the club to get in touch and offer any time or help you are able to, in order to grow what we currently have. For those who have been to the club, I’m sure you will agree there is no nicer place to sit on a sunny day and have a beer or glass of wine. It isn’t long ago when most of Standish were appalled at the thought of houses being built on the site, with hundreds of people saying they love having the cricket club there and would be willing to support it. I can count on one hand, the actual people who have done something. It would be great to get some new people involved with ideas and suggestions of how to improve what we have. At the end of the day, it’s a 60 year old shed, which needs lots of work to keep going. We would all love to have a new clubhouse, but with the small number of people currently volunteering, it is always going to remain on a wish list. Please feel free to contact me by phone, text, email, if you would like to help out in any way or just to discuss anything. We would be happy to hear from anyone who can offer support in terms of time, financially or sponsorship. You don’t have to be a cricketer or a cricket fan, just the passion to want to keep the cricket where it is and grow it to something we can all be proud of in the community. Thanks for reading this. Kind regards Ste Critchley 07702 710304 scritchley@gmail.com |
