As the scheduled start of a ‘normal’ cricket season approaches, we wanted to provide an update on the status of the youth cricket programme for this summer to those members that have already paid fees for this year.

All recreational cricket is currently suspended therefore, as I’m sure you will already expect, the youth coaching programme will not start as originally scheduled.

We will continue to follow ECB and Government guidance as the summer progress - we hope that this will allow us to offer a programme of youth cricket coaching later in the summer that is equivalent in hours coaching provided to the originally scheduled scheme. If this is not possible, or if any revised schedule is not suitable for individual members, we will of course review fees paid and provide appropriate refunds where necessary. At this stage, we do not propose to offer cash refunds until the situation is clearer later in the summer.

Thank you for your continued support of the Club. We are aware that a number of our members and their family members are directly involved in the response to the virus - our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
