Mattishall Cricket Club Charter

As a club member you need to be aware of cetain obligations and activities to do with the running of the Club. This note is intended to provide you with that information. Additional information of what's going on within the Club is contained in Club Newsletters, which are distributed to all members on a regular basis throughout the season.

Sports & Social Club Membership

Membership of the Cricket Club DOES NOT automatically entitle you to the use of Sports & Social Club facilities. If you wish to socialise in their Bar after a game (and we sincerely hope you do!!) you must join this seperately at a fee of £7 for adults and £3.50 for 16-17 year olds and £2.50 for senior citizens, which is renewable on 1st March annually. Once you've joined you will be entitled to entrance at any time throughout the year, and will also be allowed to sign in guests. Fees should be paid to either the Bar Person on duty or any member of their committee.

Teas

Each member of the Cricket Club is required to provide a minimum of one tea per season. The Captain of hteir team will ask members on a rotational basis. Should you be unsure of the format or quantity required, please see your Captain. Members will be re-inbursed to a maximum of £25 per tea.

Match Day Activities

Every club member is expected to assist with match day activities both before and after matches. There are a number of activities that need to be such as removing / putting up the ropes for the square, stumps, putting out tables in the hall, boundary markers, and cleaning and tidying the changing rooms. If everyone does a little then these activities will not be onerous - DO NOT WAIT TO BE ASKED!

Social Activities

The Management Committee work very hard to organise a number of social activities for the benefit of club members. Members are expected to attend and support these events. In the event of not being able to attend, a contribution to the cost of the event would be much appreciated.

Sportsmanship

Members are expected to behave to the highest standards of sportsmanship both on and off the field. The club prides itself on the way it plays its cricket. Remember you are not only representing yourself but also Mattishall Cricket Club.

Sponsorship

The Cricket Club relies upon sponsorship to survive. Sponsorship is extremely difficult to come by and where it is arranged, sponsors expect a return from their donation. Consequently the wearing of sponsored shirts and caps is COMPULSORY when representing Mattishall Cricket Club on the cricket field.

Ground Rota

We currently operate a rota system for help with ground preparation duties on match day mornings. You may be asked to provide assistance from time to time.
