COVID-19 has adversely affected our ability to raise funds. We need to raise £200 to maintain public access to our cricket ground, but the more we raise, the more we can improve our facilities.
Patrington Cricket Club, based at our picturesque Southside ground since 1850, is at the centre of our local community. COVID-19 has not only prevented us from playing cricket, but has severely impacted our ability to raise funds to maintain and improve our ground. We're appealing to members, parents of our junior section, friends / supporters of our club, and local residents, to help us generate vital funds. Our aim is to raise at least £200 - to keep the ground in pristine condition, for general public use, ahead of any cricket being allowed. But, honestly, depending on your generosity, we're hoping for a bit more...to purchase paint for newly erected fencing, redecorate the clubhouse tearoom, repair ground maintenance machinery and replace netting for our training pitches. With your support, our club can flourish and, when cricket returns, we hope to have as many youngsters sign up to our Dynamos section, so our club can be a source of enjoyment for generations to come.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
£200 allows us to maintain public access to our ground. We've had so much positive feedback from residents, saying how grateful they are that they're able to walk (either themselves or their dogs!) on our ground each day. We'd love to continue this throughout the summer. However, the more funds we can raise, the more we'll invest in our ground, our clubhouse and our training facilities... in turn, this will help us cater for more youngsters within our junior section, attract more members and spectators, and convert our ground into a place that people within our community would genuinely love to be at. Our hope is that, once cricket returns and events can be held, we will be a flourishing cricket club ... able to provide much enjoyment for as many local people as possible.
Steps to get it done:
We'd be grateful for any donation, no matter how small, and assure you we will invest every pound raised to deliver what we've set out above, provided we have sufficient funds.

VolunteerPatrington Cricket Club plays its home matches at the beautiful Southside ground, below the delightful 189 foot spire of the idyllic St Patrick’s Church, the Queen of Holderness, regarded by learned scholars as the most beautiful parish church in the entirety of England. Cricket has been played at Southside since 1850.
The Club has three senior sides, playing in the York Senior League, with its 1st team now playing in Division One East, the highest standard of cricket in its history - playing against the likes of Hornsea, Bridlington, Pocklington and Scarborough 2nds.
Under the expert stewardship of Andy Guy, the club also has a flourishing junior section, underpinned by the highly successful All Stars (soon to be Dynamos) initiative.
With a recently refurbished clubhouse and tearoom, once cricket returns, local residents will be very welcome on match days, both to watch the games and purchase refreshments from our well stocked tearoom.
