Welcome to the home page for

Hales CC, Hales Green, Norfolk.

• The next youth presentation nights (with BBQ) is July 21st after training. See you there.

• As part of our New Ground initiative, we are hoping to get a grant from Chance to Shine towards an artificial practice strip. However, we need to raise about £1250 of this ourselves, so we're going to have an hour-long sponsored catching event on 14th July. Sponsor forms are available from Pete and Carl - please get as many as of your friends, family and colleagues as you can to support you, and good luck!

• There'll be a 6-aside competion in memory of former player Matt Green on Sunday 10th August. If you'd like to enter a team, call Pete on 07931 711323 or email him at petehalescc@aol.com - the entry fee is £25 a team, going to the Royal Marsden Hospital where Matt was treated.There'll also be a bar, BBQ and raffle in aid of the Royal Marsden.
