FROM CILLA ROBERTSON, MEMBERSHIP SECRETARY, REED CRICKET CLUB.

THANK YOU TO THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE ALREADY PAID & COMPLETED THEIR REGISTRATION FORM.

After a most unusual season in 2020, when cricket was only allowed to be played from July 2020 it is now time to look forward to a ‘new beginning’.

The cricket season is fast approaching and applications for Club membership and the payment of Annual Subscriptions are due. Please take the time to complete the application form, so the club database is updated. In order to ensure that all interested parties are kept up to date with club information, it is important that your Membership form is completed and returned to me either by post, on-line form,
or e-mail ([email protected]).

The on-line Form is on this Homepage – go to the Members Area and choose the Adult Membership Form.

Please remember that being a paid up member of Reed Cricket Club means that you are covered by the club’s public liability insurance when taking part in anything in the name of Reed Cricket Club. You are also supporting the club and helping to maintain the facilities which have all stemmed from membership support.
