Discussing issues raised by those attending.

Last winter’s seminars run by the SCB were attended by 51 clubs and this year to try to improve attendance an additional meeting is being run in the south east of Somerset to attract more clubs from the area.

All meetings start at 7pm and will finish by 9pm and are as follows: North East: Bath CC, Tuesday October 14; South West: The County Ground, Taunton, Monday October 20; North West: Lodway CC, Tuesday October 21; South East: The Shambles, Market House, Castle Cary, Wednesday, October 22.

These meetings are intended for commitee members at cricket clubs and individuals who are interested in learning about the latest ideas and information that will benefit their club both in the short and long term.

There is no cost as this is a service being offered to all affiliated clubs as part of the SCB support package. To book email brian.hoyle@somersetcricketboard.org or call 01823-352266.
