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.
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.
