Although we we have no fixed abode so no ground or clubhouse to maintain we do incur some minor costs in relation to running the club, specifically the need to have some kit for players to use! As such we have a number of options to encourage you to part with some of your hard earned cash.
We have a two playing membership options:
- Lifetime: a one off payment of £200 with £50 going towards cricket related costs. Each member will receive a coloured playing shirt (see membership form below) bat sticker, and lapel pin and £150 will be donated towards the charities and causes we support
- Annual: £25 a year membership fee. Each member will receive a bat sticker and lapel pin when they join.
For non playing members we have a couple of options
- Donating Member: a voluntary donation which will be recognised with a lapel pin, this donation can be specified for a particular cause or charity
- Supporting Member: a blog adding our link, active social media support, ad hoc help with the club.
Playing and Donating members will be allowed to vote at the annual AGM – probably held online to keep costs down.
We have three Founding Members (with the Blazers to prove it): Dr Simon Chowdhury, Gareth Boucher and Chris Marshall
Hopefully our Affiliated Clubs Programme will ensure we give players plenty of opportunities to play.
