A personal plea from Neil Hall, chairman of Bredon Cricket Club
I hope you and your loved ones are well. My thoughts are with those who have been most seriously affected by this awful pandemic.
These are challenging times for amateur sport, and Bredon Cricket Club is no exception.
Not only have matches been suspended because of the coronavirus crisis, but our crucial fund-raising events and bar takings have been hit too.
That is why I am calling for your help.
We need your support to keep the club – which has been part of village life in Bredon since 1890 – operating and ready to resume cricket when restrictions on sport are lifted.
We have scrapped our normal membership fees for this year.
Instead, we are asking that everyone who values the club – players and non-players alike – contributes just £10 for a social membership.
It will help us meet essential costs such as ground maintenance, league fees, utility bills and insurance.
If you are a player it will be the only membership fee you pay this season, regardless of what happens.
Everyone who takes out our social membership will be entitled to make use of our friendly clubhouse bar once we are allowed to re-open. It boasts the best ‘beer garden’ in the area, with magnificent views of Bredon Hill, and is a wonderful place to relax on a summer afternoon or evening.
Even if it is something you do not think you will use, we urge everyone who values community life in the Bredon area to take out a membership.
I understand that many of you will have your own financial concerns at the moment, but if you are able to contribute £10 it WILL help the club survive this crisis!
You can take out your membership using our new secure online payments system. Just click on the link below.
