Our exciting year has just gotten better, announcing our 75th Anniversary Celebration weekend!

Some Exciting News

Our committee have been hard at work organising an entire weekend of events for all to enjoy at the club. Beginning on Friday the 30th of June we'll have a special guest speaker (more on that below), entertainment, food and of course T20 Cricket in what we hope to be a glorious Sun-Filled beginning of the weekend... Anything like the weather last year would be a huge bonus!

Moving into the Saturday, the 1st of July, We'll be playing our Normal matches in the day time, then we'll be whisked off to a Club Members Ball, with fantastic food and music into the evening. Then on the Sunday to wrap up what we hope will be an action packed weekend, we're looking to host a short-format Cricket Tournament. We're yet to work out the finer details of this, but rest assured we will have all the information very soon.

Our Wonderful Guest Speaker

We're pleased to announce our Guest Speaker - Geoff Miller O.B.E. will be joining us on Friday the 30th of June. As many of you may know, Geoff a former English cricketer, who played in 34 Test matches and 25 One Day Internationals for the England cricket team between 1976 and 1984. He played for Derbyshire from 1973 to 1986, captaining the side from 1979 to 1981 and returned in 1990 after playing for Essex between 1987 and 1989. He was an England selector from 2008 to 2013 and was appointed President of Derbyshire C.C.C. in March 2014.

It will be a great honour for our club to host Geoff.
