Club Update

Please see below a note dent to clubs on 5-06 from the WDCU Administrator.

Just a short update from me.  Firstly thanks to all the clubs that have sent in a list of players to be deactivated from PlayerReg.  By so doing I have been asked to de-register over 350 players leaving us with just over 2,500 registered players. I am sure there are more to be done so please if you haven’t done so send me in your list when you can.

On a similar vein a number of you have gone through the list I sent you of poor quality photographs on PlayerReg and have now submitted much improved ones.  There are still a good number needing updated so if you could give that a nudge that would be great.

We are all looking forward to potentially having some cricket activity and work is ongoing between Cricket Scotland and sportscotland on guidance as to what this may look like starting July the 1st.  Once the guidance has been agreed it will be distributed to regions and clubs and plans can be made.  Hopefully this should happen fairly soon.

Finally if you haven’t done so please keep on the look out for COVID-19 support funding. I know a lot of you have done this and I am aware that a healthy number of grants have been made to clubs in the west.

I will be back in touch as soon as I can.

COVID-19 Club update – Motherwell CC

Motherwell CC has announced that the club will not participate in any cricket activity this season.  This is due to the continuing situation regarding COVID-19 and the fact that there will be no league or cup cricket delivered this year.  This decision was made as the club consider that the safety and wellbeing of their players is their main priority.

COVID-19 – WDCU club information request – deadline Wednesday, 13 May

At a recent online “meeting”, the WDCU Executive Committee discussed the impact on club finances and ground maintenance and upkeep arising from the current situation.  It was agreed that it would be very helpful to get some updated information from all our clubs to assist us in discussions with Cricket Scotland and other agencies.

The request for  information was sent to clubs on Thursday the 7th of May and there have been nine replies so far.  Could all clubs please respond by Wednesday the 13th of May if at all possible.  Your help with this is greatly appreciated.
