Dear Members,
Further to my email yesterday, the ECB have just released a statement recommending the
suspension of all recreational cricket.

"This extends to training, pre-season friendlies and any associated cricket activity"
The Herts League have also issues a statement
https://www.hertsleague.co.uk/article/289/Covid-19---Update-from-the-League
The club is in good health, and we will get through this.
We will be in touch again when we have more news from the ECB or League.
Thanks
Jimmy

In light of the current Coronavirus situation, I'd like to update you all on the impact
on Cricket at Wheathampstead.
Colts Winter Nets
Following the UK Governments announcement last night regarding limiting non-essential
social interaction, the club has taken the decision to suspend all junior winter training
sessions with immediate affect. We know this will come as a disappointment to our many
junior players, but the welfare of our players, coaches and their families is paramount.
Adult Winter Nets

We're waiting to hear from Herts Uni, so these, at present can continue, at each individuals own risk.
Please follow Public Health England guidelines in ensuring hands are washed.
No sharing of gloves, helmets or balls.
