Horsford Cricket Club will become only the third cricket club in East Anglia to have SIS Grass Hybrid Wickets installed at their Manor Park ground on Friday 23rd February. With the other two cricket clubs in East Anglia that have hybrid wickets located in Essex, Horsford will be the first Norfolk cricket club to have the hybrid grass technology when they have two wickets installed.

Across the world, SIS have installed Hybrid Cricket Pitches at 36 County / International venues, at 54 cricket clubs and in 23 schools. (Full details available at the bottom of the page)

To help showcase the installation at Manor Park and allow cricket clubs from across the region to find out more about the technology and observe it being installed, SIS Pitches are working with Horsford and the our friends at the Norfolk Cricket Board to run a FREE product demonstration seminar on the morning of the day open to all clubs and volunteers. Please do share this email with your club contacts and anyone else you feel may be interested in attending this seminar.

Plan for the day

10am (Tea, coffee, and breakfast rolls on arrival)
11am (Introduction and presentation)
11.30am (Machine Demonstration / Installation)
Location: Horsford Cricket Club, Manor Park, Holt Road, Horsford, Norwich NR10 3AQ
We kindly ask that people interested in attending the FREE event, register in advance so that SIS Pitches and Horsford CC can plan accordingly. Registration takes no longer than 2/3 minutes via the link below.

Welcome to our most recent candidates taking part

Welcome to our most recent candidates taking part in the ECB Core Coach Development Course being held at Comberton Village College.

The course started very well with the candidates being led by tutors Matt Morley, Kevin Scully and Martin Heginbotham (and we thank our tutors for their hard work and expertise).

Good luck to all of them as they continue through the course and move into their own coaching roles.

If you want to attend a Coach Development Course our courses planned for 2025 will soon be with us.

1) Our Foundation Coach Course will start on Sunday 2nd Feb and will conclude on Sunday 9th Feb.

Each day runs from 9.30am to 4pm and will be held at Comberton Village College, West Street, Comberton, CB23 7DU.

To book - please use this link - https://booking.ecb.co.uk/n7qAYY

There is a cost of £150, however you may qualify for a Bursary, courtesy of the England and Wales Cricket Foundation Trust.

This course is an excellent starting point for those starting their coaching careers, led by our brilliant band of Course Tutors.

We have 9 places left on this course, they will go in no time so please book your place soon!

2) We then host a Core Coach Development Course starting on Sunday 23rd Feb 25, then continuing on 2nd, 16th Mar and concluding on 23rd Mar.

Each day runs from 9.30am to 4pm at Comberton Village College, West Street, Comberton, CB23 7DU

To book - please use this link - https://booking.ecb.co.uk/OZqvrO

This course costs £300 and again you may qualify to benefit from an ECB Bursary.

This course is aimed at developing participants on player centred coaching methods and aimed to provide both the tools and the confidence to lead sessions back at your club, school or wherever you coach.

There are 15 places left on this course but we know they will fill up, so book your place soon!

Both courses have a mixture of both on-line and face-to-face modules which will help you on your way.

Lastly, before becoming an accredited coach you will need a current ECB DBS certificate and have taken the ECB Safeguarding in Specialist Roles Training for Coaches.

We hope to see you soon!

Just a reminder with Junior and Senior winter nets

Just a reminder with Junior and Senior winter nets approaching you'll understand the need for a First Aid trainer to be on site (although the Coach is leading the session it doesn't mean they are a qualified 1st Aider........ they are different skills/qualifications).

So the best way to guarantee the session is run safely, with someone there who can help when required) is by you being trained.

We have two courses coming up on Wednesday 13th November at The Spicers Sports Ground, Cambridge Road, Sawston.

The first course starts at 1.45pm, the other (for those that work or can't make the daytime course) starts at 6.15pm.

The course is led by the brilliant Emma Walker and will take about 3 hours to complete.

We have just 1 place left on the course starting at 1.45pm, if you would like to book one of those please use this link - https://booking.ecb.co.uk/b4RZzk

We have 5 places left on the course starting at 6.15pm and to book please use this link - https://booking.ecb.co.uk/RmRYPE

The cost of the course is £40 and is designed to break even and represents great value, when compared to what other sports charge for exactly the same training.

Cambs Members of the ECB Coaching Association or m

Cambs Members of the ECB Coaching Association or members of the Association of Cricket Officials. Please take note of this message sent out by the ECB this afternoon:-

Ahead of the 2025 season, the ECB will be updating how memberships are purchased and managed for members across the network.

From 28th October 2024, the ECB is changing its payment processor for Direct Debit payments. Stripe Payments UK Ltd will now be responsible for all Direct Debit collections from this date. Collections will no longer be made by NatWest.

The good news is that you do not need to take any action to continue receiving the benefits of Direct Debit.

Please be assured the only change you will notice is that with effect from 28th October, Stripe Payments UK Ltd will collect your Direct Debits on behalf of England and Wales Cricket Board Limited instead of NatWest and therefore ECB LTD will now appear on your Bank/Building Society statement.

There is no need for you to complete a new Direct Debit Instruction, as details of the change will have been supplied to your bank, which may also independently notify you.

In addition, you may also see a comment on your bank statement advising you of the final payment under the old name/details and the first payment under the new name/details.

In future, if there are any changes to the amount, date or frequency of your Direct Debit, England and Wales Cricket Board Limited will notify you at least two working days in advance of your account being debited, which may be different to the notice period you have seen in the past.

You will continue to enjoy the full benefits of the Direct Debit Guarantee, as detailed below.

If you have any questions about this change, please call the ECB customer service team on 0121 446 2710 or visit our help centre.

Yours in Cricket,
ECB Memberships Team

The date of our Grounds Association Get together h

The date of our Grounds Association Get together has had to change.

We will now be meeting on Sunday, 17th November at Burwell&Exning Cricket Club's Ground in Burwell, starting at 10am.

As always the session will be a combination of practical work and sharing of knowledge and experience from different Club grounds keepers.

Over the last year the group has grown from 15 willing soles to over 30 Grounds keepers from across the County..... and with Cambridgeshire having more than 80 Clubs we'd love to see a few more.

In addition to the Get Together sessions, the existing members stay in contact via a Watts App group, which shares news items, equipment maintenance advice and a quick warning system if (as happens from time to time) clubs in the area get broken in to.

Also Clubs can make savings, by joining together to bulk purchase seed, loam and fertiliser. Of the Clubs that took part this year each club made a saving compared to their purchases in 2023.

Lastly, it is a chance to get our Grounds Keepers together and say thank you. Our Grounds Keepers are a hardy bunch and after the wet winter and spring faced an uphill battle each week to get a brilliant pitch ready for the weekend, they had the job of End of Season renovations, allowing their squares to be in tip-top shape while they hibernate for winter. This work means prep for the 2025 season has already started.

The morning isn't just reserved for the primary Ground keeper, but the team at each club so if you are involved on the ground in any way come and join us!
