Chingford Cricket Club

From Michael Blake - Fixture Secretary
I am pleased to announce that Chingford CC has secured improved facilities for it's twenty 3rd and 4th XI home matches in 2006. Our new home will be Pitch Number 1 at the Peter May Centre, Wadham Road E17. This is the pitch immediately on the right as you drive into the ground. The pitch is the main one in the complex and has the levellest and biggest playing area and is next to the changing rooms - tea will be taken in the adjoining Health Club. The pavilion is around 4 years old.
The pitch has 2 sightscreens at each end and a proper scorebox. It has been used previously by Wanstead on Saturdays and Waltham on Sundays and has staged National and Evening Standard Matches in recent years.
This opportunity came about as Wanstead are moving to take over Snaresbrook's old ground and we had to move fast to secure the deal. We look forward to working with the London Playing Fields Foundation for many years to come in a happy relationship.
I would like to thank Graem Peters for his preliminary investigations into this matter and Jeff Runciman for his instant decision on the finances which enabled us to respond favourably.
