IMPORTANT NOTICE from the Newcastle CC committee

Following the meeting of the Newcastle Cricket Club committee on Monday 12th January it was unanimously agreed that the committee should advise members of its position regarding the future of cricket at Jesmond.

The Newcastle Cricket Club Committee is responsible for the club side competing in the North East Premier League. The committee wish to see Newcastle continuing to function as a Premier League team, preferably based at Jesmond. The committee recognise that considerable long term financial backing will need to be secured to achieve this objective. This will almost certainly require a restructuring of the organisation and the involvement of outside parties.

If this objective is to be achieved the NCC committee will require the whole hearted support of all members who share the desire to see cricket continue at Jesmond. If anyone is able to contribute to this aim, please contact one of the committee members. As previously stated the committee are purely responsible for the Club, not County, team. However, if Newcastle can continue to play at Jesmond the ground will available for Northumberland, or other teams, to use.
