Get involved

Many hands make light work. The committee has plenty of good ideas, but not enough helpers to make them happen, so we've set up five small working groups. Each one has a clear remit and a small time commitment, and nobody is ever on their own. You don't need to be a cricketer to help.

Spread the load, so the club isn't reliant on two or three people
Small groups share the work: nobody carries a job alone
Bring your own skills (design, marketing, coaching, events) into the club
Clear remits and small time commitments
