The log on details will be advised here and on WhatsApp two days prior to the meeting taking place. The three main issues to be agreed are 1) Membership and Match fees for 2021,  2) The ‘club selection policy’ and 3) The revised club constitution, and this will be made available on the website by early March, for members to read and bring any comments or concerns to the meeting. If members have any other matters they wish to bring to the meeting, please advise the Club Secretary (colin.olliffe@gmail.com) well in advance of the meeting.

This is an important message for ANY PERSON  trying to gain access to the old pavilion……Due to the building being used for the ‘wrong reasons’, the building has been permanently secured. No-one other that the Ground Staff are allowed inside due to Covid 19 measures. Should you need to gain entrance please contact Mike Shayler on 07969 446 739..

At the October Annual General Meeting Tom Eaton gave his final ‘Chairman’s Report’ to the meeting, as he handed over the reins to David Horne for the next three years.

The club is greatly indebted to Tom for his committment to the club during these past three years, and much has been achieved under his chairmanship, often under very difficult circumstances, not to mention Covid 19!!. The club is so pleased that Tom will now take on the role as Youth Cricket Manager, and we wish him every success in the future.

Following a meeting of the Projects Committee, a list of proposed projects were  discussed in detail and costed, and then recommended to the Management Committee for approval. For the benefit of club members these are the projects we would like to see happen as and when finances allow:

1. Refurbished Nets facility: 2. Club House Lounge Refurbishment:  3.  Main Square boundary extension: 4. Old Pavilion upgrade: 5. Outside Tea Tent:

We would like to thank all those who have made donations to the club during the season.

January 2021 – Due to one loan having to be repaid, we regret that we will only be able to complete the ‘clubhouse lounge refurbishment’ and until we are able to raise the finances, all other projects have been put on hold.

The attached  Organisational Chart for CCC Management was agreed at the AGM on Thursday 22nd October via a Zoom meeting of members.

All the Officers listed will be updated on various headings and hopefully the ‘new system’ will make the running of the club more manageable.

The website will be updated over the next few weeks and it is our intention to notify all members of ‘things as they happen’….Please check the website reguarly.
