Whilst we made good progress with completing various jobs over the Easter weekend, thanks to all of you that attended, there are still several tasks that need to be done next weekend (Sat 10th and Sun 11th April) before we start playing cricket out on the square the following weekend.

We will be running two more Work Days this Saturday and Sunday, starting at 10.00, to finish off the excellent work already started.

We hope that many of you can make it again. We particularly need help with painting and gardening jobs.

Dear members,

We hope you are all keeping well and looking forward to a full season of cricket.

Following the ECB's guidance document circulated on Friday we are pleased to now be able to confirm the arrangements for the use of our outdoor nets which will commence on Saturday 3rd April.

The arrangements will be much the same as last season by booking times via our online booking calendar. This is currently being reactivated and we will inform you when it's up and running and slots can commence being booked, this should be by the middle of this coming week. Some sessions will be blocked out for senior net sessions as per last year but they will be invite only.

The nets & the grounds will only be accessible and available to use for WHCC members.

It is important everyone reads the attached guidelines the ECB have announced before booking their net session.

Between 3rd and 18th April the nets will be available to use from 9.00am to 7.00pm (ending at 7.45pm) seven days a week. Slots of 45 minutes will be available, giving a gap of 15 minutes in-between each booking. Please note that there is a Net A and a Net B that you can book.

Please use consideration when booking the nets as well as during your time within them. We want to make sure as many members get the opportunity for some much needed exercise and enjoyment.

Please do not book multiple sessions per day.

All members under the age of 16 will need to be supervised by an adult.

Please have your booking confirmation to hand during your time at the ground.

The nets must not be used without a confirmed booking.

GUIDELINES FOR USE

Following ECB guidelines, only two nets will be available for members to use with a maximum of 6 people per net. The other lanes will be taped off.

Entrance to the ground must be through the front gate to the side of the clubhouse front door.

Arrive no more than 5 mins before your session commences and leave within 5 mins of your session finishing.

Covid 19 Compliance:

Strict social distancing at all times

A group of a maximum of six people with strict 2m distance as a minimum at all times.
All members under the age of 16 must be supervised by an adult.
Hand Sanitiser will be attached to the nets for use before and after (please consider bringing your own).
There should be no sharing of balls/equipment or use of saliva or sweat to shine the ball.

It is important to remember that the following advice still applies:

Anyone feeling unwell should stay at home.
Anyone displaying symptoms of COVID-19 must stay at home and self-isolate in accordance with the UK Government guidance.
All members of the same household must do the same even if they do not display symptoms.
Anyone who has been told to self-isolate through the NHS test and trace system should follow the guidance they have been given.

Once again, please do read the guidelines before coming down and using the facilities and thank you to you all for the support of the club.

In order to prepare the nets and ground for the coming season we will be organising work parties, as usual, over the Easter weekend. We await guidance from the ECB (due this Friday) as to what we will be allowed to do but if you can spare two or three hours on Good Friday or Easter Saturday to help please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. We have a long list!
