Senior winter training kicked off this week. It was great to hear that it was so well attended for early January and that everyone was so welcoming to Jade as he returns in his new role as senior coach. A couple of reminders from me. Firstly, 2022 subscriptions are now due (juniors and seniors) so please head to pitchero and get these paid. We have streamlined the categories a little and so if you needed any assistance with working out which is yours then please do get in touch. Secondly, a reminder that, as always, there is a £5 fee for attending senior winter nets. This year we will be manag ..read more

We have organised 3 weeks of free-to-attend girls-only training for both members and girls new to GCC, at the ground. These will be happening on 6th, 13th & 20th July with the following time slots: 5-6.30pm – U11-13 (years 3-7) 6.30-8pm – U15-17 (years 7-11) The age bands are based on the cricket age groups for the 2022 season so it gives the girls a chance to try GCC ahead of next year and to meet other players. Girls can attend just 1 or 2 sessions, or all 3. So that we have an idea of numbers, please can you let us know you plan to attend by signing up for free at https://guildfordcrick ..read more
