Cheers, that's interesting.

We struggle with funding applications much the same as we lease everything from the council.

Not sure what can be done about it.

Ultimately, more players go to the clubs with the best facilities. I can ultimately see our county game headlined by the 8/12 bigger teams who are more financially free.

We have had plenty of youngsters go to the so called bigger clubs, only to play 3rd team cricket in a division 4 leagues below our first team at the age of 15. Then they get disengaged at 16 and stop playing. How about the parents let them crack the first team here first. I could go off on a huge rant.

Our fees are £20pm by standing order, all year round. This covers everything except for winter nets as we hire another facility for this.

So effectively it's £240 per year for some of the best facilities in the area, as much cricket as you can want, two training sessions per week and access to coaching. New members also get a full bundle of training and matchday kit free of charge in their first year with the club too (~£120 of kit).

Don't suppose your club fancies opening a Scottish sister club? 😂

That's extraordinarily cheap. Does your club house generate a lot of income for the club or do you have other income from somewhere?

We are unbelievably lucky to be able to fund raise throughout year and have people on committee very good at finding grants for stuff

Annual golf day brings in about 4K which we donate 1/3 to a local good cause

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Phenomenal work. Golf day is an interesting one, might have to raise that with our committee.

I have just paid £250 for me, the Mrs and my three kids to be a member of our club.
That includes winter nets for the kids as well as the summer of coaching/matches (oh, by me... Hummm)

Don’t you play for about the richest club in the whole of the UK, Chappers?

Hahahaha I don't think so.
Before we moved, my kids played at East Molesey, which is pretty affluent. Nearby Esher probably has more, but I would say Wimbledon is the richest club in Surrey. But as a player it is a no brainer to be at EM, arguably the best club side in the country right now (I wouldn't be any where near their teams!). My old club, Bank of England is struggling a bit now as they no longer play at the sports club, which has been sold.
I play at Cranleigh now, which we are growing in the same model as EM, but have a way to go yet.
