CLUB AFFILIATION

Affiliation is the formal process through which a club becomes part of the organised cricket community supported by the ECB, the national governing body for cricket in England and Wales. The Cheshire Cricket Board Affiliation Package outlines our commitment to supporting affiliated clubs in achieving their development goals.

• 1-2-1 Club Support from the Board's Development & Coaching Officers
• Free attendance at networking and information events include Club Development Forums
• Subsidised and/or free places on ECB Umpiring Courses
• Support towards ECB Accreditation (formerly Clubmark) and the Safe Hands Management System

• Advice around facility development and access to the County Grants Fund (subject to eligibility) and Funding Workshops
• Eligibility to participate in senior and junior competitions organised by Cheshire Cricket
• Membership of the Cheshire Association of Groundsman (CAG) and access to the County Pitch Advisors (CPAs)
