Tadworth Cricket Club Member Update (13 May 2020)

We hope everyone associated with Tadworth Cricket Club are well and surviving the challenges that Covid19 has presented to us all. We all know key workers and we want to put on record our thanks to all of them – amazing people

On the cricket front, Tadworth Cricket Club remain committed to following government and ECB guidance and, at this time, recreational cricket including practice remains suspended. As a committee we are actively monitoring the situation and will respond to changes in guidance as we receive them. If cricket of any kind is permitted we will need some volunteers to help get the club ready so that we can follow safety guidance and maintain social distancing requirements. Member safety will be our highest priority . For your information, preparation of the square is underway and the outfield is being cut twice a month. Cricket should be able to start with a couple of weeks notice

Financially 2020 is going to be difficult.

Without any cricket we project a loss of 3-4 K. This can be reduced if cricket can be played and if restrictions allow we will aim to have some social events to raise funds for Tadworth Cricket Club.

If you have not yet paid your social membership it is not too late to do so. The 25 pounds will help to manage our outgoings .

We have been promised a grant of 1300 pounds by Sport England – we are grateful for this contribution and it will contribute towards payment of our insurance and utilities. It is likely we will use some of the clubs reserves this year and so the solid fiscal position of the last 2 years is helping us through the lockdown.

We are planning a virtual general knowledge quiz on the May 25th Bank Holiday starting at 8pm . This is an opportunity for a bit of social engagement with friends at TCC and will be hosted by Mike W-K . We look forward to you joining

Until such time that we can start the season we wish you good health. Stay well

The health and safety of everyone involved in cricket is the ECB’s and Tadworth Cricket Club’s top priority.

ECB Coronavirus/COVID-19 announcements and updates

A Letter to all Our Supporters and Members and You from The Tadworth Cricket Club Chairman and Committee (published today 22 March 2020)

Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Tadworth CC – Note to Members:

Dear Member,
We write in the hope that all of our members are in good health in these unprecedented times. Our thoughts are with any of you in self-isolation or those with symptoms of the virus.

As you will, no doubt, be aware, cricket is not immune from the impact of the pandemic and our governing body, the ECB, have issued a statement saying that all recreational cricket has been suspended until further notice.

Tadworth Cricket Club will fully comply with the ECB statement and Government advice concerning social distancing. Our overriding priority will be the health of our members, oppositions and guests. All pre-season nets are cancelled and matches have been cancelled for the foreseeable future in line with policies of the leagues we are affiliated to

The club’s committee are discussing measures which we believe will keep the club viable beyond 2020 but will also put us in the best possible position to continue our cricket activities as soon as it is safe to do so.

There will no doubt be financial implications for us as a club and certainly there is the likelihood of a considerable reduction in income. We will do all we can to reduce expenditure over the coming weeks and after a strong couple of years we believe that our finances are robust enough to cope with a reduction in income. Having said that, essential pre-season operations on the ground and pavilion will need to continue in preparation for what we all hope will be a resumption of cricketing activities

What do we need from all of you?

Subscriptions
Firstly, we are proposing to suspend the subscriptions agreed by the AGM for 2020 until we know when cricket will resume. With no way of knowing the shape that our season will take, we have decided to ask all members to pay the social membership fee of 25 pounds. This will apply to all senior members and each junior member that were planning to join TCC in April/May. Once cricket is being played the committee will have recommendations on how to assign membership costs in a fair and equitable manner.

This approach will ensure that we initiate income for 2020 and allow us to pay for our regular outgoings like early season grounds maintenance and all pavilion utilities (electric, water, sewage collection, internet provision).
We recognise that these are challenging times for all of us who work but we hope that you see this as a reasonable sum to pay to ensure we can keep TCC viable. Please support your club in these unprecedented times

You can pay your subs on line with payment to Tadworth CC using the following account number (30185981) and sort code (20-29-90). Please use your family name and subs (eg Stokes/Subs) as the reference

Community contribution
The pandemic has already had an effect in all areas of society and we want to retain our position as an important cog in the wheels of the Tadworth and Walton Communities.

The club committee will continue to keep members informed of further developments by email and/or using our social media platforms. In the meantime, we ask that you all follow official guidance on social isolation. Please stay safe and healthy and remember to look out for those elderly club members and those most vulnerable in our local communities

We look forward to welcoming everybody back to the club as soon as possible.

Tadworth CC Exec Committee:
Craig, Bruce, Mike, Majid, Simon, Chris, Mark + Our Club Welfare Officers Paul, Rachael

PRESS RELEASE

Tadworth Cricket Club’s 2019 Charity Blast raises funds for The Children’s Trust

On Sunday 30th June, six teams competed in the 3rd annual Tadworth Cricket Club (TCC) Charity Blast.

As in previous years, the charity supported was the Children’s Trust, and TCC were delighted to raise

£2,750

on the day.

This year’s event was bigger than ever and included local teams from The Children’s Trust, the Royal Automobile Club CC, Epsom College, Chinthurst Old Boys, Free Foresters and Sutton & Epsom Jackals in a new, shorter format featuring six 8 ball overs.

In Group 1 Tadworth CC were beaten easily by the Epsom College & Chinthurst Old Boys XI who chased down 50 runs in just 21 balls. Tadworth recovered to beat the Free Foresters, chasing down 79 with a single off the final ball of their innings. Then, in the surprise result of the group, the Free Foresters defended an under-par total of 67 against Epsom College & Chinthurst Old Boys, restricting them to just 63. With each team winning just one game, Epsom College & Chinthurst Old Boys won the group due to their superior run rate. The notable performance in the group was Charlie Young who took 4 wickets in his two overs.

In Group 2, the Children’s Trust XI got off to a winning start against a Sutton & Epsom Rugby XI posting a big score of 82 which was never threatened. They went on to chase down a below par 58 by the RAC XI, although the loss of 3 wickets in their last 9 balls did increase the tension for the winning team. The Sutton & Epsom Rugby XI then defended a score of 67 against the RAC XI quite comfortably to come second in the group.

The final was played at 6:30pm with the Mayor of Reigate & Banstead, Councillor Keith Foreman, a keen cricketer himself, bowling the opening ball to get things under way! A tight final match was won by the Children’s Trust team.

After the final, the raffle prize draw and auction raised £2,750 for the Children’s Trust which will go towards providing equipment for the children. Raffle and auction prizes were kindly donated by local shops and businesses, and included a Tadworth Cricket Club shirt signed by Phil Tufnell, an ambassador of the Children’s Trust.

Throughout the day there were lots of activities for adults and children, with the Pimms tent, ice cream cart, face painting and the tea & cake stall particularly popular. A live DJ played music all day long and the BBQ and bar stayed open late.

More information, pictures of the day and a list of local shops and businesses supporting the event can be found on www.tccblast.org.

Thank you to all for your support.

Dalton Leong, Chief Executive of The Children’s Trust said:

“we are extremely grateful to Tadworth Cricket Club and everyone who supported this brilliant local event. I enjoyed watching the format and, of course, the end result: with Team Children’s Trust lifting the winners’ trophy! The sum raised will directly support children with brain injury”

Keep an eye out for next year’s event which will be on Sunday 5th July 2020!
