Thank you to those who have stood for our cricket club committee for 2024-25 at our 2024 AGM at the club last Friday. See HERE. We are volunteer led so we need their support for the Club to progress.
There are some roles vacant. So if you wish to come forward for a position on the committee, or are prepared to take on a discrete specific task for the club, or are able to contribute an hour or so on an occasional basis then please do contact a committee member, or email us on dumfriescricketclub@gmail.com. We are open to suggestions for how you might be prepared to assist the club.
