Don Macaulay Cricket Week 2016 at Upchurch Cricket Club

It's fast approaching Upchurch Cricket Club's annual Cricket Week in memory of Don Macaulay, this year taking place from July 25th to the 29th and once again all monies raised throughout the week will be donated to Macmillan Nurses.

Since Cricket Week was revamped we have managed to raise just under £7000 in the last two years and with last year's efforts topped up by Barclays Bank Match Fund it added an extra £3000, bringing the total raised to just under £10,000 in Don's memory and a fantastic sum for of money for the Macmillan Nurses that has made a real difference to people lives. 

So once again we are hoping to raise a four figure sum to add to this great cause. We have senior fixtures on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and on Thursday we have a colts 20/20 tournament all day. So if you fancy watching some cricket throughout the week please come and join us, we'd love to see you down there.

We have a fully stocked bar for any thirsty spectators in our new pavilion with large viewing balcony, proudly sponsored by Kent Trade Frames. The BBQ will be running pretty much 24/7 as well so we can promise you'll be well looked after.

We also have something going on most evenings with a quiz night on the Tuesday, race night on the Wednesday and we end the week with marquees up on the Friday evening with live music from Marylebone Jelly, a raffle, auction and plenty of food and drink. This is a ticket only event for more details please contact: lee106stepney@hotmail.com

This is a prior notice for any noise heard in the village on Friday evening, it's a one off night for us and all for a good cause so please accept our apologies in advance for any inconvenience and rest assured it will not go on any longer than 11:30pm.
