Who are we?
We are Rickmansworth Cricket Club, and we are in our 238th year! Which makes us legendary. We have over 250 members and continue to expand with a flourishing youth section that includes 3 girls’ and 12 boys' teams.
We have recently secured status as a Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC) as we continue to push this fantastic Club forward for all of our members.
Why are we crowdfunding?
Our net facilities have reached the end of their usefulness, and we need to upgrade this to provide better practice facilities to the membership.
How we’ll spend the money raised
The total cost of the net upgrade is over £13,000, the club has allocated funds of £8,000 towards the project, but we need to find an additional £5000 to help realise our goal.
Community impact
As many of you will have seen, we are really expanding out into the community, especially with our burgeoning Girls section which has taken off over the last few years.
In 2025 we have entered more boys’ and girls’ teams into the Herts Junior League than ever before. This shows the demand is there for safe, quality sports coaching and games.
We are a community club, for the local people, and have never charged more for membership than is enough to sustain us. It is great to see the club become a focal point of the community and with your help, we can achieve our aims.
We also run Summer Camps for boys and girls using these same facilities we wish to improve
How you can play your part?
There are four simple ways to help us reach our target and make this project a reality.
1. Become a Century Partner
We are initially looking for 50 local businesses to become Century partners to the Cricket Club.
We have a wide range of sponsorship packages available, which includes the opportunity to support us with a £100+ donation which will see you become a Rickmansworth Century partner.
Our ultimate aim is to raise our bat by finding 100 local businesses, but for now, we'll concentrate on reaching a half century!
REASONS TO SPONSOR
- Over 200 Cricketers within the Club (including nine Boys teams and three Girls teams).
- One of the top 10 Clubs in Hertfordshire by size.
- Over 2500 followers across social media, and we’ll share your news across our channels, too.
- You’ll receive coverage on our website, which promotes all partners to our members. We are regularly ranked in the top 50 Cricket websites by visitors to the site.
- You will be invited to our summer sponsors evening to network with our members and supporters.
2. Team Sponsorship:
We have six adult men's teams, three girls' teams, and nine teams in the boys' section! There's a team out there that would love your support!
If you’re interested in supporting one of our teams, we’re looking for a donation of £350+ which will see you and your business highlighted on all social media for that team and your company name emblazoned on a board in prime position in front of the clubhouse.
You’ll also receive coverage on our website and be given the opportunity to promote your business to our members.
3. Make a pledge.
You may be a local person with a love of Cricket who is looking to donate (all donations gratefully received) which will help us to achieve our goal.
Please don’t delay if you’re going to support us because momentum is key to our success!
4. Spread the word.
