Trying to look around for clubs in the East London area having moved here late last year; but after getting turned down by a few clubs saying they would be unlikely to give me a game feel a bit deflated about it all...

Barking?

Name and Shame, I can't think of a single reason why anyone should be turned away!

Don't have the email on me as I'd deleted it, bit harsh to name them, but definitely something along the lines of 'we have lots of members already who'll be more keen than usual, thus probably can't get you a game'

I'm in Bow, would prefer to stay around here but most clubs I see are more LMS sides which isn't my bag...

Speaking from Putney’s point of view, last summer they were getting 6 teams out a weekend and still having a lot of availability left over. Having too many members is a real challenge and I think it’s quite good of them to be honest rather than just take your money and not get you any games

After a recent trend of declining numbers, there are more sides being entered in both Saturday and Sunday cricket here this season which is a hugely welcome development and reflects the general optimism over playing numbers.

On balance I think clubs are better off being honest with potential new players rather than taking their money knowing that they will struggle for opportunities

Our league have done away with teas this season, and also reduced it to 40 overs with a 20 min interval. I much prefer no teas. Hate the hassle of having to make a tea once a year and much prefer nipping to the shop before a game.

It's the way forward in Saturday league cricket  and maybe would of come without the pandemic.

One plus point is those who are strapped for cash, can make sandwiches at home without the awkward 10 quid match fee at the end of the game.

And it's far far less hassle much as I like a good tea myself, I'd rather pay 5 not 10 quid a game-no odds to most of the clubs unless people are there to make money out of it.

Completely agree and the one way to ensure cheese and pickle sarnies every week!

It's a huge hassle off the committee's shoulders for a lot of clubs like mine that don't have kitchen facilities of any kind. As much as I'll miss our resident baker's strawberry tarts...

Teas is a 50:50 for me.
In a normal year, we do one tea a year each. And generally our side take real pride in putting on a spread, sod the budget. It’s one game a year. But some clubs we visit year in year out, teas are a horror show!

I never eat teas anyway, so am glad of the reduced turn around time as it means I actually have time for a pint after the game.
