'We have listened to concerns' Director of the club, Michael Egerton, said it was a not-for-profit organisation and had been established as a cricket club since 1856 and for hockey since 1887. He said: “It’s a battle to raise funds, but we have a bar and we rent the club out to other organisations. We have cricket, and intermittently we accept booking for evening events.
