NatWest CricketForce 2011 Registrations now open
Clubs are now able to register for NatWest CricketForce 2011. This ECB initiative, supported by the Norfolk Cricket Board, is designed to give clubs an opportunity to galvanise volunteer support to improve, repair and develop club facilities, whilst also accessing numerous discounts and other benefits from a range of suppliers to assist them in their efforts.
In addition to all previous benefits/services NWCF 2011 will have a number of additional benefits/services attached this year some of which we can inform you about below:
- A new fundraising/fund saving guide is being produced with the help of NatWest for all clubs which will be available in a few weeks time
- All clubs that register this year will receive a minimum of 30 'T' shirts
- Free DVDs will be available both from ECB and a new NatWest version showing NatWest staff involved in NWCF 2010 (contact natwestcricketforce@ecb.co.uk for copies from mid July)
- Many of our existing 'official supporters' are offering increased discounts/offers/support (Clubs and CDMs to be encouraged to contact them and discuss opportunities on a local basis as this provides clubs with great opportunities)
- Some new 'official supporters' will be on board
The dates for NWCF 2011 are: 8th, 9th and 10th April but clearly if clubs wish to start projects earlier and finish them later this should also be encouraged.
In Norfolk we are encouraging clubs to use the weekend of 26th & 27th March 2011 to allow them sufficient time to complete projects in the event of inclement weather.
