This page contains examples of best practice and case studies from some of the clubs that participated in NatWest Cricket Force 2005.
We'll be building these up as we move towards the 2006 event weekend in April to help you with your planning, and to give clubs some understanding of what can be achieved through participation in CricketForce.
Saltaire CC
Our first case study is from Saltaire CC in Yorkshire, who made great strides in renovating the historic Victorian 'Half Moon' building on their ground, and sprucing up their pavilion.

Wirksworth CC
Established in 1849, Wirksworth Cricket Club is one of the oldest in the country.
The club believe they achieved in a few months something that would ordinarily have taken years of fundraising and volunteer time. At least 955 volunteer hours were contributed over the five-month project period, which could be costed at £25,125.

Workington CC
The Cumbrian club's focus was in and around their Pavilion, in order to make it a warm and welcoming place to enjoy the game of cricket.
Partnerships were forged with local and national businesses. The total value of materials, donations and labour was £70,000.
