Club Structure Update & Volunteering at MCC

At an EGM held in January, the club members voting overwhelmingly to adopt a new club structure.

There will now be an Executive Committee focused on general club issues and Working Groups running alongside with specific areas of focus.

We would really like to hear from volunteers who could support us across the following Working Groups:

• Media and Comms
• Bar and Social
• Finance and Membership
• Sponsorship and Grants
• Grounds and Facilities

Anyone wishing to get involved in one of the Working Groups can email mottramcricket@gmail.com, and will be put in touch with the Working Group Lead to discuss where they can add benefit.

For more on this, please see our Who's Who page.
