As many of you will be aware, most of our income as a club is generated during the summer months, through memberships, match fees, hire revenue, bar revenue, and sponsorship. No cricket for the foreseeable future due to COVID-19 removes a huge proportion of these income streams. Unfortunately many of our running costs remain in some form. We must continue to prepare and maintain the ground as best possible so it is fit for use when cricket does resume, and we also have significant costs which we are contracted to, or required to meet such as 3rd XI ground hire, ball purchase, league subscriptions, various insurances, utilities costs, and the cost of Marsh Lane. The committee continues to work to find income streams for the club this year, including grant and loan opportunities but the reality is we will still see a shortfall this year with no cricket played. With this in mind, we are asking for your support to help ensure our survival.

What we'll deliver:

• Replacement flag

Why it's a great idea:

Your support will help keep the cricket club running during this difficult time. The club provides cricket to all ages, and abilities, as well as being a venue which is regularly used by local residents and the wider community - it is vital we keep this running.

Steps to get it done:

• Purchase of new flag
