Talking Books - June 2025

Grayshott Cricket Club celebrates 130 years this year and has teams for all people and recently introduced walking cricket.

Women’s involvement in cricket goes back a long way but facilities have lagged behind, so the Club, which is open to members from any area, recognising the explosion in womens' and girls' involvement is appealing for £10,000 to bring their pavilion facilities up to date, and they have just heard that  Sports England will match-fund.

Ladies Captain Al Gray, talking to Mike Waddington, speaks about getting involved in cricket and what the club offers different groups of people, including equipment.

She says that with the Women's 20;20 World Cup coming up, there will be even more interest in the sport. Grayshott says get involved.

The appeal closes in 30 days.
