Clubs' bulletin no 7 of 2025 - 21 May 

5th and 6th teams – reminder of action required 
 
This is a reminder to all clubs, that have not all ready responded to our request in the last bulletin to indicate by email whether or not they are content with the ‘four team clause’ being removed from the constitution, that the deadline for responses is this week. This will allow publication of promotion and relegation arrangements as soon as possible. Please email the charman, Roger Pugh, by 24 May, to indicate whether or not your club is content with the removal of the ‘four team clause’. 
 
Community Heroes 
 
We are pleased to support year three of the MCC Community Cricket Heroes campaign. This is a celebration of the people who make cricket happen in our communities. Is there someone at your club who goes above and beyond? Nominate them today!
