Wiltshire Cricket Affiliated Club Recreational Game Call - Monday 9th March 2026 - Follow up Information
On Monday 9th March 2026, Wiltshire Cricket held its latest affiliated club recreational game call, the new initiative that was launched in 2025 to provide bi-monthly calls for clubs leaders from our affiliated cricket clubs. We aim for these calls to be informative and to provide a more personal and interactive way of us communicating with our club network. We would like to thank all of the clubs that have supported and joined these calls so far … we hope they have been helpful and informative but as we mentioned on Monday evening we would welcome any feedback on the calls and/or ideas for content that clubs would like to be included in future calls.
Thank you to this month’s guests:
