Greenmount Cricket Club has a number of opportunities for volunteers to get involved in making a positive difference to our club.

This summer will see a number of initiatives to establish a new women and girls’ cricket section.

We are looking for volunteers who are prepared to help with coaching, training or game management.

We will be launching a Dynamos Girls programme for ages 8 to 11 years and also looking to develop a Women’s team.

Ideally, we’d also love to find a qualified coach within the membership. Someone with leadership experience who may be prepared to take a lead role in the project.

If you have the appetite to get involved and help make a difference, please get in touch as all support is appreciated – no matter how small – as we really do need more volunteers at the club rather than always relying on the same few folks to do everything.

A polite reminder that membership renewals are due by April 1st. If you do not renew, you will not benefit from members’ bar prices which, from April 3rd, will on average be £1 cheaper per alcoholic drink compared to non-members’ prices.

Greenmount Cricket Club are sad to report that former player and coach Frank Skinner has died at the age of 89.

Frank – father of club chairman Andy Skinner – joined the Mount in the early 1970s following a move into the area. He had previously played for his village club Read, near Burnley, in the Ribblesdale League.

Frank Skinner

He quickly established himself as a well-respected club stalwart whether training the club’s young players with long time junior coach Malcolm Grime, or skippering the club’s second eleven.

Frank’s funeral will be held at East Lancashire Crematorium, Radcliffe on Tuesday, March 18th at 1.30pm and afterwards at the Log Cabin where the family invite everyone to share their memories of Frank.

All at Greenmount send their sincere condolences to his wife Barbara and sons Andrew and Robin and their families.

The new till system will be installed on Monday, February 24th and from that date it will be a requirement that all members provide their new membership card when making a purchase from the bar.

Cards need to be swiped on the till by the bar staff which will show the members’ name and automatically discount bar prices.

New cards are ready for collection from the club.

  1. The membership year for everyone will still run from April 1st to March 31st
  2. You will still receive a renewal email in Feb/March each year
  3. If you do not renew by March 31st each year, your membership will show as deactivated on the till from April 1st. Thereafter, it will only be activated from the date you renew
  4. You will NOT receive a new card each membership renewal
  5. Members cannot give their cards to anyone else to use and the card can be confiscated if misused
  6. If you lose your card it can be replaced but there will be a £2.50 fee

We would ask for your help and patience so that we can implement the new system as smoothly as possible and for members to use their cards as they are intended.

We have already received a great response to the quiz on Friday, March 7th and there are only a few spaces left for teams.

As a reminder, teams can be from two to six people. Food via Summerseat Pie Company is included and the cost is £10 per person.

If you would like a team, we suggest you act quickly and let us know ASAP. At the same time please advise how many of the team would like meat & potato or cheese & onion pie.
