Natwest CricketForce Weekend

This year Chipping Norton Cricket Club have joine Natwest CricketForce Weekend. This event will take place on Saturday 31st March and Sunday 1st April.

NatWest CricketForce is an England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) annual volunteering initiative aimed at rejuvenating the nation’s cricketing facilities.  It is anticipated that it will once again be the biggest annual volunteering event in sport.  In 2011 over 85,000 volunteers helped over 1,914 Community Cricket Clubs make a difference to their facilities and cricket.

Chipping Norton & District Cricket Club are looking to renew the pavillion in order to improve the facilities that are offered. These facilities are used by every member of the club and are also open to the wider community of Chipping Norton.

In order to make this event a stunning success, the club are looking for financial support from local businesses, whether this is through sponsorship or by other means, such as materials that can be used to freshen up the pavillion. 

The weekend can only be a success if we have enough volunteers to help do all the jobs that are needed to improve the facilities. This is not only open to members of the club, but support and help from the local community will be much appreciated.

We will have someone in charge of bacon butties and tea and coffee, and if you have young children, then while you are working hard, we can keep them entertained with some fun cricket games. If you are able to assist the club in any way with this project then please contact Ian Widdows 07795 100952.

 

Indoor Nets

It's that time of year again where we search around for our cricket gear, seeing what new equipment we need for the start of the season.

I am please to say that indoor nets are starting this Sunday, 19th February at Chipping Norton Leisure Centre. We have a 2 hour slot from 3pm to 5pm every Sunday up until Easter, where we will then look to train outside, weather permitting.

The cost of the session will be no more than £4 each, which is to cover the hiring cost of the hall. It would be nice to see as many of current players turn up on time, with new players more than welcome to come along. The more people we get, then the better we can structure the sessions to make it more beneficial for all.

Any queries or questions then please contact Ben Tew 07971 682448 or Sam Townsend 07929 213422.
