We love to see people using our nets to polish their skills.
We are making an extra effort this season to keep them in tip-top condition, and hope you have noticed the difference!
Be aware, though, that anyone using the nets has a responsibility to keep themselves and others safe from harm.
Please take a few minutes to read these guidelines, and pass them on to anyone who may not understand the risks involved in misusing this facility.
Turn back time to those glory days of the Eighties and Nineties at Bredon Cricket Club!
We’ll be playing some of the biggest hits of the two decades at our school disco retro night on Saturday, July 23.
But it won’t be just the music from the past you’ll be enjoying… we’ll be selling selected drinks at 90s prices too (though we can’t guarantee to have Hooch, Lambrini, or Skol lager in stock).
Why not really let your hair down and come in fancy dress? The theme is 1980s and 1990s school disco. There’ll be a prize for the best male and female outfits.
Bredon Cricket Club has an idyllic rural setting at the foot of Bredon Hill, and is just four-and-a-half miles from Tewkesbury and seven miles from Pershore.
On a warm night in July it’s the perfect place to remember those uh, oh summer nights!
Tickets cost £5 on the door, and the bar opens at 7pm.

Don’t forget that we have an evening of live music at Bredon Cricket Club on Saturday night (May 21).
Local singer James Caveny will be performing.
His music appeals to a broad range of people, and he has a large local following.
Our bar, under the stewardship of Will Rollett, will be open from 7pm and boasts some of the most competitive drinks prices in the area.
Admission is free and non-members are welcome. See you there!
On Saturday, May 21, Bredon Cricket Club’s three teams are in league action, and we need all available players.
The First XI are at home to Coombs Wood, while the Second XI are away to Kidderminster Fourth XI.
The Third XI, meanwhile, take on Bewdley at Lower Park.
With a demanding Saturday like this one we need to field full-strength teams to stand any chance of good results.
Please contact Ian Fenney if you don’t play every weekend, but are able to turn out on Saturday. Call 07760 244410.
The 2nd XI were in action today, enjoying a three-wicket victory against Bartestree and Lugwardine at Hill Close.
The game was played in brilliant sunshine, though temperatures cooled rapidly later in the afternoon.
There are more pictures from the match on our Facebook page.
The Seconds’ next fixture is away against Kidderminster 4th XI on Saturday, May 21.
Here’s what B&L had to say about us:

What a fabulous turnout at junior cricket coaching tonight.
Want to join in the fun?
Watch this short clip when the weather is gloomy like it was today, and remind yourself of gorgeous days like this at Bredon’s Hill Close ground.
This video was shot on Sunday, May 8.
Now this may seem like an ordinary floor to you, but we are enormously proud of it!
The parquet was rescued from an old church hall several years ago and fitted in our Hill Close clubhouse.
But it had taken a bit of a battering and was looking worse for wear.
A top-notch restoration has it looking magnificent again, as this picture shows.
It is just another step in a programme to dramatically improve the clubhouse.
Decorating is under way, a new kitchen is coming, and there are even grander things in the pipeline.
For now, though, we’re all just enjoying staring at the floor. Who says cricket folk are boring?
Cricket season weather finally arrived at Bredon today.
The home team swept near-neighbours Eckington aside on a sweltering spring day when temperatures hit 25C (about seven degrees hotter than Ibiza!).
Bredon battled first in this 40-over friendly match, scoring 229 for six.
Martin Hill scored 92, and Dominic Fenney 81.
Eckington were 63 all out, with Jordan Huggins claiming three for nine.
Bredon won by 166 runs.
Are you puzzled about what happens when bad light, weather or ground conditions affect games?
The ECB Association of Cricket Officials (ACO) had issued some guidance to help everyone involved in the game understand how decisions are made.
