With RCC supporting the sports social media boycott (to highlight the issue of online abuse) until tomorrow, it is email and the website this week to inform you that training is on today (2nd May). Usually the best thing to do is to check the @richmondcricket twitter feed for any last minute changes due to weather. Whilst the weather is not exactly May-like it is at least forecast to be dry.

So training us on for U6-U8 mixed, U9-U10 Boys and all of the softball girls. There are a lot of matches on today, plus it is a bank holiday weekend, so training for U9 and U10 will likely be light in numbers which means it can be high in quality!

REQUEST: This is a reminder that it is time to pay subs. They can be found here.

We will also be sending email reminders that have a link to the payments. All subs must be paid online through Pitchero. This allows us to link the payment to the player and is the record that we use to demonstrate to our insurers in the event of any claim. U6-U9s subs (C6) are £115, and for U10+ (C4) they are £150. For older players who are at boarding school, if they will not be at the club until later in the summer, there is a discount available. Please contact your age group manager. We will try not to prompt those who have already paid - we apologise if we make a mistake.

If you are prompted to pay and think you have already paid, or you are not planning on your child attending this season, please drop a line to Sarah at membershipsk@richmondcricketclub.com

Please help the volunteers who run the club by paying your subs promptly. It takes a lot of time to chase those who have not paid.

Finally, we believe that everyone should be able to play cricket. If you have real difficulty in covering the subs please contact Rich at colts.richmondcricketclub@gmail.com.

We look forward to seeing many of you at Old Deer Park this morning.
