We want to make you aware that our Club Management App, PLAI, is undergoing a major update early next week. Many of you will have automatic app updates set up on your phones, which means the app will update without you having to take any action. However... Some people may have to update the app manually. Some people may have to reset their password to comply with new security settings. An information shown in the graphic below, covers all of these scenarios. Importantly, the

Last weekend's Summer Party was one to remember! 🌞🎉 The fun kicked off in spectacular style with our colour run. There was plenty of laughter (and plenty of colour!) as kids—and more than a few grown-ups—joined in the chaos. A huge thank you to Amy Hayes, Raylene and Dan Barnes for organising, and to Stedman Landscapes and Frank Hurst for making it happen through their generous sponsorship of the colour run. On the subject of sponsors, Parkview Clinic and Ben Hogan were als

Our annual cricket week is back this summer 6-10 July. Nazeing Common are once again touring Sussex and we look forward to hosting them, always a good laugh!

We're hosting a Softball Festival on Sunday, August 23rd at the West Chiltington & Thakeham Cricket Club. It's a multi-team tournament, but if you just want to try out softball or hang out and watch, you're more than welcome. If you want to play but don't have a team, just give us a shout. Local clubs have already been informed about the festival and will be signing up teams. We're still figuring out the exact schedule and format, as it depends on how many people join in, but

To cap off the evening, the England vs. Pana

Here's some handy instructions on how to add money to your PLAI wallet so that when the time comes to pay your match fees you don’t have to worry about them, the fees will automatically be paid out of your wallet, which is good because you don’t have to act each time a request is sent out, no more looking for notifications or email links, and we (the club) get paid in a timely manner saving our volunteers, administrators, coaches and captains from chasing you up!

We’re pleased to announce that Ben Hogan will take on captaincy of the men’s Sussex Slam side this season. The Sussex Slam is a competition that the club values highly with its more social offering allowing cricketers of all abilities to compete without the pressure that comes with Saturday league cricket. This year, as with last year, we will be entering the Shield competition which has restrictions on who can play based on what level they usually play in league cricket – wh

Stem guards can be purchased as attachments for all brands of helmet. If you own a Gray-Nichols helmet you can get 15% off if you purchase direct
