Membership, Bar, Licensing & Social Update

Membership

The club is delighted with how the new membership structure has operated throughout 2022 and has allowed us to simplify the administrative burden.


Members are politely reminded that standing order membership payments are due for 12 months of the year, not just within the months of the season.


For those paying yearly, payments will become due again on 1st April 2023.


For any memberhsip related queries, please email mottramcricket@gmail.com


We are aware that some people have not been issued with a membership card/number. If you think you are missing yours, please get in touch on the email above.


Social
We would like to remind everyone, that the club will continue to operate throughout the winter, showing plenty of live sport and hosting many social nights throughout the winter.


More on this will be posted on the website in the coming days and weeks, including as ever, monthly quiz nights, open mic nights and the annual brass band carol concert.


Please do you best to support the club however you can, be it to watch the football, or at social events between now and April.

Bar & Licensing
The club is pleased to announce the recent license application was a success. We embarked on this process at the request of Tameside Licensing, as we were operating an old style license. The new license updates items and brings it into line with 2022.

Whilst we have managed to stave off price rises at the bar for over two years now, we are now in a position where we must implement increases from October, owing to greatly increased purchasing costs, vastly increased running costs and a requirement to register for Value Added Tax from October. We appreciate rises aren't immaterial and will endevour to hold the new prices at their new levels for as long as possible.

It is not just about standing at the front and directing, but standing behind the club and ensuring it thrives for future generations . We have 7 seniors teams, including 2 women's teams and a growing, successful junior section. I think with some further developments, on and off the field, we can realise the full potential of our club and create a legacy that lasts well beyond any single season ."

He replaces Chris Green-Buckley who remains 3rd XI captain but has stepped down from the junior role due to increased work committments On being confirmed in the role, Stephen said: "I am very excited and proud to be taking up this role. I have seen first hand as 4th XI captain and a parent, the good work that has gone into the junior set-up over the past few years. I am looking forward to getting stuck in and helping take it to new heights. Thank you to Chris for his hard work and leaving it in an exciting position."
