Opportunities for new members

 

Fitness with enjoyment

Whilst we provide lots of  opportunities for healthy exercise throughout the year, the main thrust of our outdoor recreation is from April to October, with either  mid-week evening  practices and match fixtures, or weekend match fixtures .

Participation in cricket is both fitness improving, and weight reducing. New Members  will be given  opportunities to participate in  limited- overs evening matches, which are less time-demanding;  or  , individuals may wish to make themselves  available to   enjoy longer summer Saturday afternoons   batting, bowling and fielding, with all the excitement of  finely balanced games.  Fitness levels are improved through running, fielding, and bowling ,  whilst  better eye and hand coordination is gained through catching and  batting.  And the pride gained in  the winning of games  depends upon the best deployment of everyone’s skills, energies, enthusiasm, and  abilities.  One’s enjoyment of the game is enhanced through   interaction with  other players and through an appreciation of the finer points of   field-positioning, and team-play.  And of course, after each game there is the opportunity to socialise, and to relax over  a drink at a local hostelry.
