Have you ever considered becoming a 'Friend' of the Museum?

The Museum and Library is situated adjacent to the club shop, and is run entirely by volunteers.

Our President Tony Debenham is a trustee, and he would like to tell you a little about the organisation

 ESSEX CRICKET SOCIETY AGM 2025 

Due to a clash with the Essex CCC AGM, we are cancelling our meeting on the 17th December.

Our AGM will now be at 6:45pm on the 14th January 2025 before our evening with Jason Gallian.


HISTORY OF CRICKET IN THE LOCAL AREA

Author and ECS member Stephen Norris has kindly allowed us to reproduce three articles from a series published in The City Times on sport in the Chelmsford area.

They are taken from his book 'From a Borough to a City': A History of Chelmsford 1888-2014.  To read on, click here.

Do you have any Essex-related pictures that you are willing to share with us?  If there is enough interest, we would like to add them as a new category to the Society Archive - an Essex pictorial history.  It doesn't even have to be 'official' or formal type images.   Send your photographs to info@essexcricketsociety.uk with any related background information.  Thanks again!
