Providing support and funding to cricket clubs across the country as they return to cricket.
Impact data and claims within this report are provided by the project creator and have not been independently verified by Spacehive.
In the winter storms, there was significant damage to the sight screens and fencing. Both are repairable with suitable funds
The sight screen is required by league rules as well as enhancing the game. Suitable timber is available from our local builder's merchant and volunteers have been found to use this to replace the damaged parts (both legs, main base and struts) The grounds are hired by several clubs/teams as well as our own need. For the fencing, we also have volunteers to erect it in order to keep rabbits off the playing fields, but need the funds to acquire the goods
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
The benefits are: to assist the batsmen in seeing the cricket ball provide a good playing surface on which to enjoy the sport of cricket
Steps to get it done:
The club is a volunteer organisation and does not pay any players to play, nor any ground staff. Currently there is no membership income but the expenses of keeping the 2 grounds in a state of preparedness is still needed

VolunteerIpswich Cricket Club was founded in 2003 with the merger of Browns and Tattingstone cricket clubs.
The club is run by volunteers and does not pay anyone to play cricket or to manage the ground.
As well as running a number of sides mainly in the Two Counties league covering Suffolk and North Essex, we also host the home games for Freston CC, Ipswich Caribbeans CC and Suffolk County Council.
Suffolk representative sides (50/60/70 and girls) also use the ground to host some of their games
In addition having 2 grounds side by side we host a number of tournaments usually at the end of the season.
