This is an open invitation to everyone cricket at all levels!
Cricket Scotland wants to meet and hear from everyone connected with our game – players, coaches, parents, volunteers, umpires, club officials and aspiring participants. Please spread the word amongst your clubs and regions to ensure good attendances and a breadth of thought and opinion across the meetings. Refreshments will be provided at each meeting, while specific measures have been taken to ensure accessibility at each venue.
The meetings will be structured into three sections:
- A presentation of the recent survey results
- Group workshop sessions, in sizes to be determined at each session, with feedback from each workshop
- An open questions and answer session with Cricket Scotland’s Senior Leadership Team, including the Chief Executive Pete Fitzboydon and Head of Changing The Boundaries Val Lindsay
- There will also be opportunity for questions to be asked anonymously if preferred during these sessions.
We look forward to meeting the cricketing public in the coming weeks!
