<p>We are proud that at Winchcombe CC we have a long standing reputation as a great place for a cricket tea! <p>We do have people who kindly do teas for both of our teams but if you&nbsp;would like to volunteer to help or to do the odd weekend to give them a break or if you would like to bake cakes for the players that would be lovely (our players tend to be quite traditional, scones and sponges - they're not too keen on kale and quinoa! <p>It's not too time consuming, a quick whizz around Tescos, a little bit of preparation and setting it out and then a few proseccos afterwards watching the game and having a chat, not a bad way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

<p>Sign your juniors up, we might not be the biggest, richest and most successful Club in the area - but be part of something special! <p>&nbsp;</p> https://winchcombecricketclub.co.uk/blog/not-just-about-the-cricket Sat, 28 Sep 2024 09:08:00 +0000 Winchcombe CC
