In line with the latest directive for outdoor cricket practice from the ECB we are updating our club guidelines on the usage of our nets, which remain open for Chesham CC members to book.

The key update in the guidance is the allowance of small group sizes (now up to six individuals).

We will continue to review the rules on a regular basis as government/ECB guidance changes.

Nets must be booked in advance – please do not expect to turn up and be able to use a net without a booking.

We require a responsible adult to remain present throughout the booking.

The clubhouse/changing rooms/toilets will not be open.

How to book

Look at the on-line bookings sheet here to check availability: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NtGf6q1JytD0HHUyIdkKyR13lAgbcJ2XRe6wUbVmWWQ/edit?usp=sharing

Then contact Lee Wiles, the club secretary on wiles_lee61@hotmail.com to make your booking (1 hour slots, including sufficient time for changeovers). Lee will confirm your booking and add your name to the spreadsheet.

Summary of rules

The nets can be booked for use by members in groups of no more than six, with social distancing rules being observed so that players keep two metres apart at all times,.

Do not attend if you or anyone in your household displays symptoms or if your household is currently in isolation.

Personal hygiene measures should be carried out at home both before and after use of the facility.

Bring your own playing/training equipment including balls. No sweat or saliva should be imparted upon the ball.

Please abide by the rules that Lee will send you at the time of your first booking, and please leave the nets clean and tidy. As club staff remain on furlough, bins are not being emptied so please take your rubbish home with you.

Usage of the nets will continue to be reviewed in line with government/ECB announcements.
