Our Relevance Today
Sure we are a proud Club with a rich and colourful history going back as far as 1946. » Read More
But in today’s busy world there often doesn’t seem to be the same opportunity to chill out playing social cricket on a Sunday afternoon. In recent years we have taken stock of who we are and what we want to be in the coming years, and are refocusing our energies on:
- assisting and sponsoring the development of school and college cricket in Wellington, and
- engaging in social activities and events for the many cricket enthusiasts who share our goals.
We have an active programme of games against Colleges, Schools and Cricket Clubs » Read More
A key focus is on further developing our membership. We want more cricket enthusiasts who may or may not still be active players. Membership options include both Full Playing and Associate. To find out more about becoming a member of the Club click here
