As we continue to offer an increasing range of events for our members, we are pleased to announce the launch of the first ever Brentwood Chamber of Commerce ‘Kwik Cricket’ Tournament.
Kwik Cricket is a fun version of cricket suitable for people of all abilities, played on a smaller pitch with plastic bats. There are 6 players in a team and each player gets the opportunity to bat, bowl and field, making it a vibrant and exciting game. No previous experience is necessary!
The inaugural tournament will take place at Shenfield Cricket Club from 2-7pm on Thursday 22 September, followed by a barbecue and a chance to socialise and informally network.
Families and spectators are welcome to join us for the afternoon and separate tickets will be available to purchase to cover the cost of the BBQ.
