Due to a safety issue with the All Stars and Dynamo balls there have been some delays to the booking system and there are some changes to the programmes this year.

An All Stars booking will not include some of the kit and the price has been reduced to £30 per participant. We have a range of kit for participants to use in the sessions so it will not affect delivery. Dynamos remains at the price of £40.

Bookings will reopen on 3rd April for those who have attended before (priority window) and 10th April for everyone else.

We are running two All Stars Programmes for 5 to 8-year-olds this year. There is a new Friday night session starting at 6.30pm and the first session is Friday 10th May. Those who have booked or who are interested are invited to come along on Friday 3rd May at 6.15pm for a short welcome meeting and sample session. The second programme will run on Wednesdays later in the summer.

We are working with the Worcestershire Cricket Foundation to offer Dynamos cricket to children aged 8 to 11 years old who are new to cricket . Please contact us directly to be added to our waiting list for these sessions. Again the Dynamos sessions will start on 10th May at 6.30pm - with a welcome meeting and sample session at 7.00pm on Friday 3rd April.

If you have any All Stars or Dynamos balls at home please dispose of them as the ECB has said that they may have higher than recommended levels of a certain plastic.

If you have any All Stars bats that you are no longer using we would appreciate it if you could donate them to the club to allow us to re-use with new participants. Please email bgcccommunications@gmail.com and we can arrange a time to meet you.

Thanks
