Last night I was elected onto the Junior Cricket Committee and then made chairman. And we agreed to try and put feelers out on getting all of the junior players shirts and caps. Now, we were thinking of making these compulsory, funded by either purchased separately, built into the yearly subscription or introducing a training or match fee.
We currently have between 50 and 60 kids turning out every week, so we would be looking at that number of shirts and caps. The order will not be until around mid-February and we would require the shirts delivered by the first games in mid-April.
The senior teams currently play in Stuart Surridge shirts, and it would be nice to have some form of consistency running through the club, but on a quick look last night they proved to be slightly too expensive for juniors who are constantly growing and some families have three children playing in our junior section. The club colours and green and yellow
We agreed to try and source shirts for between £14 and £16 a shirt (ranging from small boys to youths) and £8 and £10 for a cap.
We have a couple of irons in the fire, but I'd rather get them from here and if any sponsors could meet these requirements please drop me a message and I can report back to the committee with my findings.
