It’s a little known fact that Rickmansworth has one of the oldest cricket club’s in England and denotes a founding of 1787.

Over the year’s the club has been located around Rickmansworth but now resides in it’s permanent location for the last hundred years at Park Road.

The club has five senior Saturday team’s playing in the Saracens Hertfordshire League and a friendly Sunday team.

We are very proud of our junior section run by Head Coach Paul Blackwell, and a number of the boys now represent the District, Area and County.

The junior section starts with little crickets a play base introduction to the game of cricket for boys and girls aged 4-5, then moves on to junior cricket coached by our ECB trained and cleared lead coaches.

We are a family friendly club offering senior and junior cricket to all with coaching program’s to meet all standards.

If you would like to play cricket or just be involved contact Mark Raine Rickmansworthcc@gmail.com

Not sure about you but we can almost smell the cheese coming from BAR NINETY TWO this Friday 29^th March where DJ Fitzroy will be dusting the cobwebs off his 45s and blasting out hits such as Bon Jovi and Wham.

So what are you waiting for? Grab a bunch of friends,  “borrow” your daughter’s legwarmers, fetch the neon ra-ra skirts out of the attic and head on down to support your local bar for what looks like an unforgettable night.

7:00pm-12:30am 92 HIGH STREET

 

Enter Rickmansworth Library, sing a song of sixpence,  wind the bobbin up, follow the signpost called “baby rhyme time”, walk round and round the garden like a teddy bear and enter the special zone where children and their carers can come and participate in nursery rhymes and songs…for free!

This is a unique and enjoyable way to have fun with your child whilst they enhance their listening and verbal skills and learn new rhymes to boot!

All are very welcome at this special event held approximately every two weeks (check back here for confirmed dates) and babies are encouraged to stamp their passport whenever they attend which eventually results in a special certificate to take home and show family and friends.

Sessions last for approximately 30 minutes and afterwards children are free to browse the wide range of books, further developing their comprehension skills.
