The process of how to join the club is laid out in a step by step guide called "How to join Richmond Cricket Club as a playing member of the adult men's section." The document can be found here - https://www.richmondcricketclub.com/d/documents.html.

SELECTION

Selection meetings will take place every Monday evening. Please ensure that you set your availability via the club app (Pitchero) no later than 5pm on Monday for the following week. Marking when you are unavailable, not just when you are available is extremely helpful. Please make every effort to do this. Teams will be posted via the app no later than Wednesday night.

Once in Pitchero, please hit 'confirm' against your selection.

CRY-OFFS

Once a member has declared him or herself available to play, they are not expected to cry-off. However, the committee understands that, very occasionally, a cry-off is unavoidable. If you have to cry-off, please contact your team Captain by telephone as early as possible.

When a player cries off, it can affect up to 5 Richmond teams, weakening sides and potentially leaving one team short. Persistent, specious or late cry-offs will be reflected in subsequent selection decisions.

LATENESS

Arrival times for all matches are at the discretion of each Captain. Each captain will inform their team of the meet time.

As a general rule of thumb, the Committee expects that all players should be on the ground a minimum of 60 minutes before the scheduled start of a match.

Home matches - see above

Away matches - your captain will confirm the meet time at Old Deer Park ahead of travelling to the away ground. If planning to travel to an away match without calling at the Club (“going direct”), please first check with your Captain that your car is not needed to transport other players. Only travel direct once your Captain has been informed and agreed.

Members who persistently arrive late for match meet times can expect the Selection Committee to take punitive action against them. This may include players being dropped down through the sides, irrespective of their normal team position.

MATCH FEES

Match fees are paid by every player who plays adult cricket i.e. Men, Woman and Juniors playing in adult matches. Match fees are a financial lifeblood of the club. The fee goes to the costs of teas, balls, ground prep/hire and match administration. As an amateur cricket club, we don't survive if these are not paid.

PAYMENT OF MATCH FEES

Match fees must be paid on the day of the match. The captain will issue the request for payment on match day, usually at the end of the game. Any player with 2 or more match fees outstanding, will not be considered for selection until their debt is settled in full.
