Dear all,
Following on from a change in Insurance coverage and increased monitoring of the ground due to
COVID limitations and practises, the committee of Sporting Alfas Cricket Club need to bring the
following to your attention –
Players are ONLY allowed use the ground, facilities and training areas when they are paid members of
this club. This means, that no non-member is allowed use the nets or enter the changing rooms of the
club. Due to the insurance restrictions placed on the club by the new insurance coverage, only players
or opposition teams, when playing, can use the club’s facilities. Opposition teams cannot come to use
the nets for a day out, non-club members cannot join in with players practising in the nets.
Members must pay their subs before using the nets based on these new demands by the Town Hall and
the Insurance providers. It is not a case of I will pay next week or I’ve always been a member, you have
to pay now before you can use the club, as of the date of this letter.
Nets, under the current COVID restrictions are limited to 4 at a time. Only paid members can be in this
foursome and needs to be authorised by the committee. There is to be no jumping of fences or entering
the ground other than by the gate, when open. We have been advised that the police will be called if
people are seen jumping in or unauthorised practising taking place.
In light of the above, the year that we will face, the reduced number of games and the increase to the
insurance per player, we have decided that the subs for the year 2021 will be set as follows –
€ 25 for playing members, regardless of XL, midweek, 2nds or 1st team members. This is due to the fact
that any person wishing to play, must be insured and registered specifically.
€ 30 for Family members, which includes players and non-players as always.
€ 10 for Social Membership.
Cricket Spain are looking in to the possibility of reintroducing club id membership cards again due to
these new insurance issues. Members will get a card to confirm their membership and insurance to use
the club, should the scheme go through to ensure only club members use the facilities.
