Rankin's Becomes an ECB Focus Club

10 Nov 2009

I am very pleased to announce that our cricket club has been selected by the ECB to become a Focus Club. This means we have been recognised as serious cricket provider and promoter for the community.

ECB Focus Club Definition
A Cricket Club that:
- Is affiliated to the ECB via the County Board
- Is committed to achieving the objectives within Building Partnerships
- Will work in partnership with ECB, the County Board, Schools and the Community to deliver high quality agreed development plan outcomes
- Has achieved or is committed to achieving and maintaining Clubmark Accreditation evidencing that they are a safe, effective and child friendly Club
- Has a development plan that has been approved by the County Board and is reviewed and updated on an annual basis
It's great news for the club to be awarded this accreditation and follows on from last years hard work in becoming clubmark accredited.

This could have only been achieved by the hard work being carried out behind the scenes by everyone from players to parents, committee members and especially our coaching staff and support from the Greensward Academy School.

I know from being involved that everyone is happy to help where they can and to promote cricket to local children and see the club thrive is just great.
