Wiltshire Cricket Affiliated Club Recreational Game Call - Monday 10th November 2025 - Follow up Information

Wiltshire Cricket held its inaugural affiliated club recreational game call on Monday 10th November; a new initiative that will see Wiltshire Cricket hold bi-monthly calls for club leaders from our affiliated cricket clubs. We hope that these calls will provide a more personal and interactive way of us communicating with our club network and during these calls we will provide a mixture of updates, news, guest speakers and opportunities for questions and answers with ECB partners, external partners and Wiltshire Cricket members of staff.

A big thank you too, to my colleagues at Wiltshire Cricket who gave updates across a number of areas:
