An exciting new project is underway in replacing the existing club Pavilion with a state-of-the-art new Community Clubhouse. The current Pavilion is over 50 years old and does not meet the needs of modern living or current England & Wales Cricket Board criteria. The design plans are complete, and the club is now preparing submission for Planning permission.
