Hi everyone

The diamonds may be quiet, but behind the scenes, the committee is already gearing up to lay the foundations for a successful upcoming season. The off-season is the perfect time to reflect, plan, and prepare—and it all starts with our Annual General Meeting (AGM) planned for 20 July 2025.

This year’s AGM marks an important moment of change, as we see a changing of the guard in some key leadership roles. We would like to acknowledge and sincerely thank our Life Member and current Club President, Andrew ‘Charnz’ Charnley, who has advised he will be stepping aside to focus on personal coaching goals. Charnz's unwavering support, passion, and commitment to ECB over the years have helped shape the strong, inclusive club we are today. On behalf of the entire club, we extend our deepest thanks and wish him all the best in his future coaching endeavours.

As we look ahead, we’re calling on new leaders and fresh energy to continue building on this solid foundation.  Nominations are now open for key leadership roles for the upcoming season, including:

  • Club President
  • Club Captain
  • Junior Club Captain

We're also seeking enthusiastic committee members who can bring fresh ideas and energy to support the continued growth and success of our club.  If you're interested in nominating yourself for a leadership position or joining the committee, please complete the nomination form as soon as possible.  Nominations Close 14 June 2025
