Dear WCC Colleague, The three dates above are to be used to complete the new Pavilion Clubhouse and Bar that has been one of the central items of Club activity in the past few months; there are other tasks to complete such as erection of the outdoor nets and work on the square too. We need ALL to commit to a few hours over the weekend to undertake the tasks required, so please feed through to our Facilities Project Managers
The Management Committee has come up with a list of top level tasks that need to be performed over this three day period; laying of the patio outside of the Clubhouse, erecting the outdoor nets and doing work on the square are all on the agenda. An e-mail is to be sent out asking for what time slots you can do work in; by collating this information we can work out the best way to do the work we need to.
The Management Committee will meet on Wednesday 13th April whatever; the venue for this meeting will be the Pavilion if the building work is completed by then. If not we shall meet at The Victoria Arms, North Street, Wellington in their skittle alley. The Secretary will confirm matters nearer the time.

The archive is missing material from two periods in the 121 year span we are looking at here; the first period absent is that from when the Club reformed after WWII
The 2011 Fixture list has been updated and now includes all senior games for the year except Baker Cup ties.
Everyone should be well aware of the bar we set up last summer, a good number of you have used it quite a bit already! Over the winter/spring some improvements have been made ready for the new season and we hope to see everyone enjoying the cricket and making use of the new facilities. As part of our license, we can only sell alcohol to members of the club, or people with the travelling opposition. This means that anyone in
Membership fees have been relatively stable for a number of years. In order to fund development in the club, we are looking to change our subscription fees and make use of our Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC) status to bring in more money without any additional cost to members. As a CASC, we can claim Gift Aid on donations from UK tax payers who have signed an appropriate form. As an example, this makes a £20 donation worth £25 to
