Corbridge Cricket Club New Pavilion

Having successfully raised funds to construct our new clubhouse, we are fundraising to buy indoor and outdoor furniture, and to finish off the paths, seating and planting around the new building.

Story

As a result of severe flood damage caused by Storm Desmond in December 2015, Corbridge Cricket Club had to demolish its old pavilion. We have finally raised sufficient funds to build a new flood resilient clubhouse which was ready for use in June 2017. We are now fund-raising to buy indoor and outdoor furniture, and to improve the footpaths, planting and seating around the new building.

Our cricket club has been part of the village community since 1886, and in 2017 will run ten teams including two women's teams and teams for juniors (boys and girls) of all ages. The club is ECB "Clubmark" accredited and provides coaching for all its junior players.

For over 130 years, Corbridge Cricket Club has been a key part of its local village community in rural Northumberland. We provide an attractive sporting and social venue where people from all ages and backgrounds come together to play and watch cricket, and get involved as volunteers. We run 10 men’s, women’s and junior teams for all ages, many people coming down to visit the ground and watch matches in the height of the summer. We encourage young people to take part by providing coaching and junior teams, and working closely with local schools. We are all volunteers, working hard to support a sporting club which gives a lot of pleasure and fulfillment to local people. Storm Desmond hit the North East of England hard on 5th December 2015, and took our club pavilion with it. The field was flooded to a depth of 4 feet and we lost all our playing equipment. After a difficult season managing to accommodate teams in the loft of our current changing facilities, we are raising funds for a brand new pavilion. We are very grateful to all those who have already supported us as we have recovered from the flood, and have enough money from grants, insurance and donations to construct the building. It will be built on stilts to combat any risk from future flooding. We are now fundraising towards the cost of kitchen and bar equipment and tea room and bar furniture. Please donate whatever you can to help our cause!
