Dear all, 

As we are all aware, the country is in the midst of a shutdown due to coronavirus and the Cricket Club is no exception. All activities for all sections of the club are postponed indefinitely, and we have no knowledge of when or even if we will get out and play this season. 

This is clearly very disappointing for all of us, given how long the winter has been and how hard our volunteers have been working. Like with nearly all organisations at the moment clearly there are financial concerns that arise from this situation. Thanks to the hard work and foresight of our volunteers, and the generosity of the ECB in deferring loan repayments, we are confident that Chesham CC will come out the other side of this crisis in a relatively decent position. Nevertheless, the support of our members continues to be the basis for our operations. 

We have had a number of questions on this subject, and whilst I love the enthusiasm we must be clear - the Club is closed until the restrictions are limited. To reiterate, you must not attempt to use the nets or any other Club facilities during this lockdown, with no exceptions.  

The Club is well placed to weather this crisis and we are hopeful we will still get some cricket this season, but until then stay at home and stay safe. We can't wait to see you on the other side! 

I will write out separately in due course with a call for volunteers to do particular tasks that can be undertaken whilst socially distancing. 

Kind regards 

Jonathan Royals 

Chairman
