We can now have 4 in a net from different households, and we are working on opening the outfield very shortly for supervised training.
There are strict guidelines however so please read terms and conditions which have been accordingly revised and are a condition of booking - Updated Net Usage T&Cs
The main changes are as follows:
- You can use the nets with members of your household or with 3 other people from outside your household while keeping two metres apart at all times. You must therefore only use the nets in groups of no more than 4 people, unless you are using the nets exclusively with members of your household.
- There will be areas marked out with cones where bowlers should wait before bowling.
- Social distancing of at least two metres must be maintained at all times (unless all participants are members of the same household).
- You must only use your own playing/training equipment including balls. If there are more than 2 people in the net each person should have only one ball, which should be clearly marked to indicate that it belongs to you. You should avoid touching other cricket balls.
- Batters to knock or kick ball back to the bowler and not throw it as usual – the batter should not handle the balls.
- A batsman must be out of the net before the next batsman enters the net.
- A bowler must be clear of the net before the next bowler starts his run-up.
- Bring your own hand sanitiser. Wash hands at home before and after using the outdoor facilities.
- The booking and cancellation rules are now included formally within the terms and conditions.
When booking a net session, if possible, please state who will be in the net with you.
To book a net you need to register click on WCC Net Booking System. This will only be open to members, who have renewed their 2020 memberships. Adult members can do this by going to Adult Registration and Juniors by going to Junior Registration.
We will soon be announcing the introduction of group training sessions on the outfield.
Thank you for your continued observance of the guidance.
