Treasurer's note: Just to clarify, the Treasurer requests that Match fees are paid to him on a piecemeal basis, but any proceeds from raffles, book sales or produce sales etc, please save these until the end of the season.

With the Club running two teams on both Tuesday and Saturday afternoons, there is usually a home match on those days every week, so please go along and support your Club.

Why not check the fixtures to see when we're at home and, if you're free, pop along. You can help with scoring, measuring, refreshments, or just simply give your support.

Barlaston is the gateway to the Downs Banks – owned by the National Trust and offering approximately 160 acres of bracken-covered moorland forming an idyllic backdrop to Barlaston village.
