Cricket matches starting again!

To all our Tadworth Cricket Club (TCC) Members, Family & Friends

We hope you are all well and looking forward to cricket matches starting again

I’m sure you all understand that your safety is the TCC Committees priority, and our goal is to continue to adhere to the government and ECB guidelines. We have reinforced the social distancing measures and procedures that our members have been applying during practice and we now ask all members, friends and visitors to follow these practices in order for us to play cricket safely and to allow us open the bar facilities.

For Cricket Matches and Practice

• The Changing Rooms will NOT be available for use. Players should arrive ready to play cricket
• Hand sanitiser will be available at Tadworth Cricket Club but where possible we ask that you bring your own and use before and after practice or before, between innings and after matches
• On arrival at Tadworth Cricket Club, you must sign in to a visitors’ book with your name and email address (one name per family). We need your details in case we need to contact you as per COVID guidance.
• Please respect the social distancing of others AND if you are not feeling well stay away from Tadworth Cricket Club
• For senior cricket, teas will not be provided so please bring your own snacks
• We do not plan to open the social room in the pavilion in order to maintain social distancing and so come prepared for the British weather and please can we ask that supporters provide your own chair.
• Toilet facilities will remain closed during junior practice. We await further details of match conditions before we make a decision on availability of toilet facilities, but we are likely to have the toilets available only in emergencies
• There will be some signage at Tadworth Cricket Club and we ask that you respect the requests as these are for the safety of all members and visitors

Utilisation of the Club Facilities

• The bar will be open starting later this week BUT you will not be able to enter the pavilion or approach the bar.
  • We will only be selling bottles and cans in order to minimise the amount of surfaces that will be touched and will need to be cleaned
  • You will be greeted by a volunteer in front of the shutters who will take your order. Maximum 4 drinks per order. Your order will be relayed to a volunteer behind the bar who will prepare the order and the drinks will be brought to the shutter for collection. Please take your complete order once it is brought to you.
  • When queueing for drinks orders please respect the social distancing requirements
  • Card payments only – NO CASH.
  • We will be using bottles only and so we ask that you put your empties in to the bins provided. Including bottles to leave the pavilion.
  • Wine will be available but please bring your own glasses where at all possible.
  • You must take your drinks outside. Under no circumstances can anyone drink inside the clubhouse, whatever the weather.
  • Please be patient and respect our bar volunteers at all times.
  • Please note: If you are unable to follow the safety procedures, your actions could ultimately lead to the bar being closed.

Please continue to check our website for further Club updates.

The committee are reviewing the additional club subscription requirements now that cricket can start and we will communicate those this week.

We hope to see as many of our members and friends as possible over the next few weeks supporting our fantastic club and celebrating the return of cricket at Tadworth.

We will keep you all informed with any future activities at the club.

Thank you all for your continued support.

“Practise makes Club perfect”

Dear Tadworth CC Members

TCC Committee hope that this note finds you and your families all well.

Your committee have continued to work behind the scenes to keep Tadworth Cricket Club ticking along. Some notable updates include:

1. Simon H was able to secure some very good quality second hand furniture for the club house and much of the old furniture has gone. This was the second item that was highlighted by you , our members, as a priority for investment and thanks to Simon we achieved this in a cost effective way. We hope you like it.
   
2. Over the last 3 weeks we have seen cricket at Mill Road with close to 50, 1:1 sessions and a couple of small group coaching sessions delivered to our junior members. Tadworth Cricket Club committee express their thanks to Mark Anthony, Mike W-K, Craig and Sid Hussein who are giving their time voluntarily to lead some impressive sessions sessions.
   
   The senior members are back training too, with 2 one hour sessions for a max of 6 people being run Sundays and Wednesdays. These sessions have been popular and as social distancing rules relax we hope to accommodate more members
   
3. Thanks to everyone who has paid their 25 pounds social membership. This has been a critical lifeline for Tadworth Cricket Club to help us manage our fixed costs. We continue to actively manage our financial situation and as part of COVID grants have been made available from a variety of sources. We secured 1300 pounds from Sport England and have submitted a further grant application to ECB to help us cover other fixed /grounds costs.
   
   We do project a loss for the season, even with the good will of all of you, so if (when) we do get back to the club later this season we will be looking to do a couple of social fund raisers

On the cricket front, you may have seen that the government stated that cricket matches could not yet be permitted as the ball is a vector of the disease!!

ECB are still in talks with the government and this will influence when matches can start. When they do start we may have to play short form games (eg less overs , fewer players) but we hope that will be clear in the next couple of weeks. Some leagues in Surrey are preparing to start play from 25 July but that is in anticipation of further agreement with government.

We will keep you informed but as a committee. We hope to maximise cricket in Aug and first half of Sept. We HOPE that all of you will be ready to play

In the meantime, stay well and look forward to seeing you all soon. Best wishes

Craig Stevenson – Chairman
On behalf of TCC Committee

Sessions times are :

• Friday 5-8pm
• Saturday 10-1pm (until cricket matches start)

Each session will start on the hour.

Sessions will be approximately 45 minutes in duration, this will allow a gap between sessions to allow parents and children to arrive/leave safely.

They will consist of batting with the use of a bowling machine, and a separate fielding and bowling exercise.

Two 1:1 sessions will be running in tandem.

Your coach will maintain social distancing guidelines and will not change during the different exercises.

Please email Mark Anthony with your preferred day/time and I will endeavour to match it as best as possible.

e.g. – A. Person, pref Tuesday 6-7pm or Saturday 11-12
Joe Bloggs, anytime Friday or Saturday etc

Please mention if you require use of club kit (helmet, pads, gloves, hard ball bat, box)

If you do not get a space on any given week, you will be given priority for the following week.

These sessions are charged at £7.

We look forward to seeing you all soon.

Thanks
