Website Outage

We were unfortunately the victims of a hacker who disrupted a number of websites where our site is hosted. Hopefully the security hole has been rectified and this won't happen again! Its a shame that we can't find them and put them into our nets and let loose with the bowling machine to teach them a lesson.

SYDENHAM CRICKET CLUB AGM WILL BE HELD IN THE CLUBROOMS ON WEDNESDAY 19TH AUGUST AT 7PM.

This is a very important AGM as there will be some changes to the club involving a formal structure to the complex committee. This will be in the form of a resolution that will need to be passed at the AGM. The formality will enable the new committee/trust to control the assets of the cricket and hockey clubs.

This is just part of the overall picture involving the clubroom renovations, which will also be discussed at the AGM.

Hopefully you understand the importance of what the club is going thru now and in the future, so please get to the AGM and have your say.

This means that our club has squeaky clean processes involving health and safety, financial accountability, and compliance with legal requirements. In other words we act like a professional organisation. Well done to all those involved in getting the club this award.
