Pre-Season Prep: Get Set Weekend Returns on 23-24 March

Get Set Weekend is due to take place on 23-24 March 2024, and cricket clubs are invited to register for the #GetSetWeekend using a quick form on www.ecb.co.uk/getsetweekend.

Clubs will be familiar with this annual initiative from the ECB that’s been running for years under different names.

The ‘Cricket Collective’ is the description for the many volunteers who power the incredible work at clubs and across the recreational game.

The goal is to encourage clubs to improve their club facilities and bring everyone together to do pre-season jobs on the ground. That might be painting the pavilion, repairing fencing or whatever needs attention.

It’s also a prime opportunity to invite the local community and perhaps meet new players, parents or volunteers who might wish to help out in future.

(Worth saying that if the particular weekend doesn’t suit then you can still obviously do your own Get Set event another time and still get access to the resources available, if your club registers.)
