Rainham CC

For the third year in succession we will be taking part in the All Stars Cricket programme, which is aimed at 5 to 8 year olds. We’ll have a new Activator this year, in Lizzie Pattison, who will be leading most of the sessions. The first session will commence on Monday 20^th May and will continue for 8 consecutive weeks until 8^th July and as an addition we will be adding an extra family fun day, aimed at the All Stars and their parents on Sunday 14^th July, which is the day of the cricket World Cup final.

Even at this early stage we have 7 All Stars signed up to take part in the programme, which is much healthier than we had at this stage last year. Please let any family and friends know about our All Stars programme, which has been a great success over the last couple of years. The programme costs £40 which includes the 8 coaching sessions, a personalised All Stars tee-shirt, ruck-sack, bat, ball and cap and the website to register is as per the attached link https://allstarscricket.co.uk/rainhamcc

Our annual signing on night will take place down the club on Friday 29th March (BREXIT deadline day) from 7pm, so please come along for for a bit of a social and political debate (the bar will be open) and to pay your annual subscriptions, costs as follows:

Age 26 plus – £90

Age 22 to 25 – £70

Up to 21/Students/Youth – £50

New club kit may also be available to collect and pay for on that night.

The following day Saturday 30th March will also be our annual Nat West Cricketforce day to ensure the club is ready for the new season with jobs such as tidying the outdoor nets, clearing the gutters, de-weeding the patio and if Keith allows (skills dependant) a bit of painting. Please try and spare an hour or two, from 10am, so our facilities are ready for the new season

Rainham CC have been successful in applying for funding from the Co-op Community Fund and the way it works is as follows:

Go to the Co-op website coop.co.uk/membership to apply for Co-op membership, which will cost £1.

Then selcet a cause you wish for 1% of everything you spend with the Co-op whether it be at a supermarket, insurance, legal services, elctrical or any other service they provide. The Rainham CC cause is via the following weblink https://membership.coop.co.uk/causes/22244

It will take a week before your membership card arrives. Once it arrives present it after you have spent with the Co-op and then 1% of what you spend will go towards the cricket club and our effort to extend the existing outdoor nets.

Our local supermarket Co-ops are in Elm Park, Hornchurch and Upminster and probably places near where you work.

There are also benefits of being a Co-op member such 5% going back into your membership account and potential share in Co-op’s profits.

Please spread the word as we have up until October 2019 to raise funds.
