Probably faze out teas as lots of clubs are struggling to provide a reasonable tea for the money they get also for lots of clubs teas have now become an hassle to organise.
If players want something to eat they could always take there own using the tea money saved to provide what they like.

Id have to disagree not being able to provide reasonable tea. I've always spent �40 on teas and always had stuff left over. If i club charges minimum �7 per play thats �77, if they pay for teas �37/�32 depending on what you league ask you to charge then our league ask for �30 for 1 umpire (which we get 2) so you dont suffer but you dont gain from it either.. Generally clubs in high leagues that have umpires dont tend to charge as low as �7

You have done well there Matt Mrs Senior upto season 2015 when she stopped doing teas had 33.00 to spend she struggled to provide 24 teas for the money she used end up spending her own money then theres the tea shopping on match day food preparation food transportation etc. The WCL league cost of teas for 2016 will be 35.00
One of the most plentiful cricket teas I had was a Sunday tea it was the remains of a players wedding Buffet didnt eat touch the sausage rolls though as you could see the finger marks.

�50 a game plus expenses....more than we get in the Yorkshire Premier Leagues!

Just had some fixtures through for 2016 some are 100 mile round trip for �50 expences. Out of that I've my kit to provide plus ongoing courses to pay too! Don't do it for the money though just to stay involved after playing....can highly recommend it for anyone coming to the end of the playing days!

Do you get �50 a game, no matter how far you have to go to umpire?

I found you can get alot but starts getting expensive when people think its an amazing idea to make home made cakes from scratch or cooking hot food. Then include the whole price for all the ingredients and not acrually considering that theyve probably used maximum 1/4 of it so...

But honestly Aldi is the place to go! If you dont have any brand names out noone questions it

We start at 1. 45 overs. I'd much rather have 11am start as a few games were still going at 7pm which doesn't go down well with wife. We have tea in middle. Leg side wides in our league div 4 is a no no at minute. I think it would add up to an hour to the game in total. We were going to charge �8 subs but at meeting last night we've said �10 but �2 will go into sweepstake where you pull out number and that's your man. Which ever batsmen hits most runs takes �22. Again it's easier than taking �8 and messing about with change.

Simple truth

Take a two game period (home and away)

Income
11x7 = 77 (assuming all pay full fees and aren't students etc)
11x7 = 77 (as above)
�35 (from Oppos for teas

=189

Expenses
�35 for away teas
15 ball
15 ball
50 umpire game 1
50 umpire game 2
40 pitch hire
=205

Now, I'm no Rachael Riley but that's a (205-189) �16 loss per cycle.. If you spend more than �35 on your home teas then you are losing even more.. Of course, I'm not even counting pitch prep costs (white paint, fuel, seeds, machinery use, insurance etc etc)

My club had to pay 70 for its tea.. So it's actually 86 per cycle loss ! That and we have two people who pay �5 rather than �7 so that's yet more lost

Yeah spot on that
That's why you've gotta make a bit behind the bar etc and the odd fundraiser
Tough times to play cricket

I think our first team last year was down about 400 for the year, that money has to come from somewhere or saved.. Teas are the simplest thing to cut

It will eventually happen.

Shows the difference in standards.

At our club prices are:

Subs - Adults = �20, Unemployed = �10, Youth = �5
Teas = �2 (Home & Away)
Scorer = �1 on Saturday, 50p Mid-Week

Every home game each player is expected to bring enough tea to feed 2 people as well as pay the above �2.

Money made from selling sweets & cans, various fundraisers, hiring the pitch out etc... goes on various other items we need to purchase e.g. balls, paying umpires etc...

You charge the scorer!!!!! We would give our eye teeth to have one and bung them a few free beers.
In that case I suggest you get someone to operate the scoreboard, someone to find lost balls and someone to do the washing up. Charge them all a quid each and that should help balance the the books.

Our scorer gets �15 on a Saturday plus free tea, and a tenner on a Wednesday.

Not easy to find someone to scorer. So charging them to do the job sounds absolutely ridicolous!!

In fact our league ha a rule, if you don't supply a scorer for the full game, you have to pay the opposition scorer a fiver for doing it all on her/his own. And no batsmen scoring during there innings doesn't count.got to supply someone for the whole game.

Charge the scorer ! Great idea why not start charging the umpires for there mistakes ho and then there's the tea lady who forgot the butter and the groundsman for the one that kept low and got you out I could make a list
