With increasing usage Tarleton Cricket Club's ground requires a much needed refurbishment. This will enable childrens, womens & senior cricket to continue to grow to the benefit of the community.
Tarleton Cricket Club is a Community Amateur Sports Club. It has grown from providing cricket facilities for mainly men into an organisation that is used by all sections of the local community. We provide activities for children from age 5 upwards. The last four years has seen the formation of a thriving women and girls section. The club also maintains its four regular senior cricket teams and these now regularly have women players. The additional use of the ground for hard ball, soft ball, kwik cricket, coaching and sports camps have taken their toll. The club has taken the decision to completely renovate the playing surfaces to enable further growth in numbers and to maintain a high standard for current activity. They are in the region of 50 years old and are extremely tired. The increased usage has degraded them further despite the best efforts of the volunteer groundsman. We are looking to improve the pitch to continue providing a great facility for all our teams.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
Our aim is to make TCC a vital part of community life. Cricket can be played or enjoyed by people of all backgrounds, ages and abilities. Our facilities are open to all and promote involvement and the opportunity to participate in numerous voluntary roles. Whilst our main function is to provide cricket the ground will also be the venue for large and small village events. We often partner with the Parish Council and football club for these. An example being the village "It's a Knockout" event that attracts around a thousand participants and spectators.

VolunteerTarleton Cricket Club has been an integral part of the village and surrounding areas for many years. Families have played for the club for generations and remain supporters of the club.
The village has expanded in terms of population, development and infrastucture. The cricket club through a robust development plan and expansion of its membership has responded to this.
We have increased our junior section to cover wider age groups and abilities. Over the last five years we have grown our women and girls section from a handful of people to being one of the largest clubs in Lancashire.
Our project is about maintaining and improving our facilities to support both this growth and future developments.
