Cricket Derbyshire Day
Cricket Derbyshire Day is back on 26 March!
The Derbyshire Cricket Foundation and Derbyshire County Cricket Club are teaming up to provide several workshops designed to support the development of recreational cricket.
Along with additional support from DCF Association of Cricket Officials (DCF ACO) and Grounds Maintenance Association (GMA) we will be running a wide range of workshops for volunteers:
Please can attendees sign up by Wednesday 23 March, so we have a good idea of numbers.
For more information on the workshops and to register: Click Here
Access to Cricket Grant
The DCF are proud to introduce a new Access to Cricket Grant, which recognises that cost can be a barrier to accessing the game and seeks to remove that barrier to participation in playing or in cricket education programmes.
For more information about the Access to Cricket Grant please Click Here
We have also set up a JustGiving page to take donations to help grow the fund which will enable us to support more people. The link can be found below:

#GetSetWeekend
#GetSetWeekend has launched!
The ECB has launched its annual season preparation weekend with the 26 and 27 March chosen as the official dates. This weekend is a great opportunity to bring volunteers together and get the club ready for the new season.
We know that lots of clubs choose different dates that fit in with their calendars and there is no pressure to do the event on this specific weekend (it clashes with our Derbyshire Day!)
If you are planning on running a #GetSetWeekend before the season then please: Register Here
The first 10 Derbyshire clubs to register will win a £50 voucher and 4 tickets to a Derbyshire T20 game.
By registering for #GetSetWeekend before the 27 March, clubs will be entered into an ECB prize draw to win some exciting prizes.
