There’s a new look to Bredon Cricket Club’s season curtain-raiser this year.

Our traditional cheese-and-wine evening is being replaced by an afternoon gathering for all the family that we’re calling the First of the Summer Wine.

There will be food, including a barbecue; activities for youngsters, the club raffle and live music from Joel Darkes (of Lunafall). Our licensed bar will be open throughout.

It is being held on Sunday, May 6, and the fun gets under way at 2pm.

There is an open invitation for people unfamiliar with the club to come along and find out what cricket at Bredon is all about.

Most of our junior team coaches will be at the curtain-raiser too, so parents can ask them about how we introduce youngsters to the game and develop their skills. See also our junior cricket FAQ.

Our chairman, Neil Hall, will be talking to visitors about the season ahead, and the ambitious plans we have to raise playing standards and make the club a hub for all ages in the community.

Join our cricket teas rota

Can you help keep hungry players fed and watered this coming season?

If so, Bredon Cricket Club would like to hear from you.

We have a few matches on our cricket teas rota for 2018 that we need someone to cover.

It is not difficult to serve up a tea, and the club will reimburse you for the food and ingredients you use.

There are also plenty of, ahem, veterans on hand to offer help and advice.

If you want to know more about laying on the perfect cricket tea, there is some super advice from Mandy Clements-Hunt here.

Please contact Mandy or Lucy Washbourne if you can help out this season. If you do not have their telephone numbers use the contact form below:
