Managing our club involves a lot of communication. Club members want or need to know what is going on, and the club often needs to pass on news or information to the membership. Club officials will communicate with you, so therefore, please take a few minutes to get yourselves set up on your devices to access all the latest news. Don’t worry, we’re not going to bombard your inbox on a daily basis! From an admin perspective, if all members are set up on all communication channels, then we do not need to duplicate messages across all channels, saving valuable time and effort. The following communication methods are used by the club:

1. Email
We use the website to communicate with the membership by email. The sender will show in your inbox as “Chenies & Latimer Cricket CC”. To ensure that you can receive these emails you must login in to your Pitchero account and register your email address and opt in to receive email from the club.
In some circumstances, officers of the club will use their own email address to communicate with sub-sections of the membership. But in time we’d like to phase this out and rely solely on the website. This can happen only if every club member is contactable via the website so please do check that your settings allow this.

Colts – from a safeguarding and practicality perspective it is vital that every colt member is connected to a parent membership profile. In this way, all communication directed to the colt is actually sent to the parent(s). Consequently, a colt’s membership profile does not need to have an email address associated with it. However, this does not preclude a colt from registering their email address and receiving the communication in addition to their parent(s) receiving it. We would go so far as to encourage this among the older colts groups as it begins to prepare them for being adult club members by, for example, being responsible for answering their own availability or selection requests.

2. Website
Most club news is posted in the form of a news article on the website. Make sure you check in regularly to read the latest updates from the club: www.chenies-cricket.org

4. Social Media:

5. Whatsapp
Some teams use Whatsapp groups to communicate with players and/or parents. Whatsapp is extremely useful especially when needing to communicate quickly and immediately such as for last minute cancellations or getting stuck in traffic en route to away matches, so if you are invited to join one of the club’s Whatsapp groups then please accept.
