Please note the paragraphs about Safeguarding and Competitions.

The statement on Monday from the Government has obviously had serious repercussions for cricket, officiating and ECB ACO. The ECB statement has now released a statement which is now recommending that all recreational cricket is suspended. Here is a link to the statement – https://ecb-comms.co.uk/1FT6-6SKA2-FAL1CBNJ2E/cr.aspx

With regard to ECB ACO, please note the following:

• Edgbaston Office

The ACO team will be working from home for the foreseeable future but if you have any queries, we can still be contacted on the normal number – 0121 446 2710. We will not be able to take any payments over the phone but we should be able to do everything else for you.

• Members Communications

It is the intention to publish the pre-season edition of the magazine as usual but potentially with some form of insert that can be included at the last minute with the latest information. After that ECB ACO intends to send Over & Outs on a frequent basis so that we maintain regular communication and support for the members. 

It goes without saying that we are living in uncertain times in what is an unprecedented situation. As circumstances change or the position becomes clearer we will let you know.

Be safe

David Bird
WCACO Chairman

Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the Members Meeting scheduled for 24th March has been cancelled.

We hope to rearrange the meeting for a time when circumstances allow.
