Please think about what you can do and how you can help. If you are interested in volunteering with the club, please contact Ellen Ferris secretary@wpccricket.com.au or the relevant Cricket Manager.
Club Development
A significant upgrade of the CJ Greenfield Training facility is underway. The project includes a lighting upgrade, removal of the existing synthetic surface covering and the rubber matting, some concrete preparation work, resurfacing with new synthetic, relocation of the container and some drainage works together with resurfacing of the existing field wickets at the ground. A lot of effort has gone in to this project and we hope this effort will be rewarded through your continued experience and engagement with the WPC Cricket Club.
