Dear Cricket Member

The 2024 cricket season approaches with many already involved in indoor and outdoor nets.

After a successful 2023 all through the club we look forward to seeing the 1st XI back in the Cheshire Premier League and also anticipate celebrating the 150 year anniversary of our Clubhouse. In the coming days we will be sharing a link to our new kit supplier Castore - the England kit manufacturer.

We have just completed the refurbishment of our nets and plan a number of other development projects in 2024, including:

- add a 'sightscreen' to the end of the nets to improve evening visibility
- installation of a live streaming system so we can watch Bowdon games from home and abroad
- new covers and sheets to help keep games on
- a new 'super soaker' to get games on faster
- perimeter boards (with some advertising) to enclose the pitch and save losing balls into the hedges
- a new digital scoreboard

We need to accelerate our fund raising efforts to allow us to make these projects happen. We have launched our sponsorship brochure so please take a look and see if there is a way you might be able to contribute. Alternatively, if you or your company are able to donate towards any of the projects above then please contact us at treasurercricket@bowdoncricket.com or jamescgb1@gmail.com.

Best Wishes
