Cricket Scotland are pleased to announce the launch of Jewson CricketForce
The Jewson CricketForce Scheme is a club-based initiative aimed at rejuvenating Scotland`s
cricketing facilities by encouraging cricket supporters, local communities, and their friends
and families to volunteer to undertake renovations at their local cricket club in the lead up to
the season. The scheme follows in the footsteps of a similar scheme run by the ECB that has
been hugely successful in promoting the profile of club cricket.
We are hoping that as many cricket clubs sign up to the event and use it as a great opportunity to prepare
their facilities and bring together their membership and communities for the start of the season.
We are targeting the last weekend of March – 27th
, 28th
, 29th
– for the national `CricketForce` weekend
where clubs participate and Cricket Scotland will be publicising, and supporting, the event nationwide. In
fact, some clubs will be chosen for extra volunteering support with national team players coming to your
club to muck in and help out for the day!
To find out all the information on Jewson CricketForce please click on the link below:

- Step-by-Step Guide to help you make the most of your project
