Cricket East

This May, we are excited to introduce The Pavilion Series ?, a brand new programme of free online workshops designed to support and inspire cricket club volunteers ahead of the new season.

Following the postponement of our recent conference, we are pleased to bring the planned sessions to life in a new and accessible format. The Pavilion Series ensures that volunteers can still benefit from expert insight, practical guidance, and shared experiences, all delivered through a series of engaging online sessions.

Whether you are looking to grow your club, create more inclusive environments, or simply pick up new ideas to take back into your setting, there is something for everyone.

Delivered by a range of experienced speakers from across the game, each session focuses on key areas that are shaping the future of cricket clubs.

What’s on

The Pavilion Series will run across May, with all sessions taking place online at 7pm and lasting no longer than 90 minutes.

5th May – Bullying & Banter
Delivered by Annelise Finlayson (BeActive), this session will explore how clubs can create positive, respectful environments while understanding the difference between humour and harmful behaviour.

Flexible and Accessible Learning
The Pavilion Series has been designed with volunteers in mind. You can attend as many or as few sessions as you like, depending on what is most relevant to you and your club.

Each workshop is free to attend and offers a welcoming space to learn, ask questions, and share ideas with others across the cricket network.
