2022 Membership

The committee have been hard at work so far this winter.

Ahead of the 2022 season, we have agreed a revised membership structure. Going forward, we will implement a monthly direct debit process which will see membership payments also cover costs such as training sessions and winter coaching, which previously required separate cash payments.

The committee is conscious that in previous seasons, parents and players have been required to provide membership payments as a lump sum whilst also being required to order new playing and training kit in a small window just before the season starts. By switching to monthly payments, we will reduce this burden and ensure the club receives vital income across the year including in the leaner winter months.

We believe this new model will enable members to maximise their access to the benefits of memberships whilst allowing us to continue investing in the growth of Mottram Cricket Club.

Further information on the new membership structure will be communicated shortly, with registration nights held for senior players and junior parents.

Club Opening Hours & Bar Update

The Cricket Club continue to invest in our facilities for all members and non-members to share. We're not hibernating this winter, and continue to open regularly. Everyone, members and non-members, are welcome.

Please keep your eye on the Club Facebook Group, for our weekly opening hours. By way of reminder, we have full Sky & BT TV across 3 screens, as well as fully stocked (and comparatively cheap!) bar.

We are encouraging all members to top up their members account with funds to spend at the bar. This benefits the club from an administrative and costs point of view, as well as the members for ease of purchase at the bar.

Please continue to support the club, by stopping by when you can. 

Senior Cricket

Net sessions will be held at Total Cricket, Oxford St E, Ashton-under-Lyne OL7 0RE every Wednesday from 19th January, between 19:00 and 20:00.

All players playing in senior teams, are actively encouraged to attend.

GMCL fixtures for 2022, are due imminently. We will of course post them on the website, when we have them.
