Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart - Elizabeth Andrew

An important feature of the Club is the volunteering ethos. Without the burden of a players’ wage bill, the money the Club raises is all ploughed back into the facilities and high quality coaching for members, rather than into mercenary pockets!

Recent purchases include:

New net facilities 2020
New covers 2023
New sight screens 2023
New umpires’ changing room 2023
New commercial barbecue 2024

Spring 2024 will see the arrival of a brand-new, top of the range “Poweroll County” heavy roller, widely regarded as the best money can buy. The Club has purchased it from Club funds following a magnificent crowdfunding campaign in 2023.

This is further evidence that the Club continues to strive to provide the best playing surfaces and facilities for its members and visitors to enjoy.

In addition to the volunteering ethos, the beautiful surroundings, range of playing standards, large membership and community footfall naturally attracts like-minded sponsors.

Spectators are well catered for, with a well-stocked bar providing refreshments and the Club is an important social hub for the village. For those not gripped by the action on the pitch there is a large screen TV, Wi-Fi connection and even a box of Lego; a real family-orientated Club.

The National Village Cup games, on Sundays, are particularly well attended. As the 2020 final was won behind closed doors, the Club’s supporters are still looking forward to that elusive Colwall pilgrimage to Lord’s.

For many, that pilgrimage would start at Colwall station a short walk from the ground. The station provides a direct train to London Paddington, but also provides easy access to the Club from Malvern and Worcester to the east as well as Ledbury and Hereford to the west.

The Club has a dedicated team who organise a calendar of lively social events throughout the year.

Some of the money raised by these events goes to the Club’s nominated charity. In 2023 local charity ARCOS (Association For Rehabilitation Of Communication & Oral Skills) benefited from a cheque for £2000. For 2024 the Club’s charity will be Bowel Cancer UK.
