30th ANNIVERSARY
The club has now been in operation since 1978 and - with the exception of the Club Leader - is run entirely by volunteers made up of friends and family of the club members, sixth-formers, college and university students and public-spirited members of the community. The club held its 30th Birthday Bash at Kenilworth Cricket Club in June 2008 which was attended by many of the dozens of members, helpers, carers, friends & relations who have been involved with the club over the years |
