On April 1st 2023 Cricket East hosted its first ever Volunteers Conference, hosted by our partners at University of Bedfordshire at their Polhill Campus in Bedford.
The day was a huge success, celebrating, inspiring, training volunteering across our local cricket clubs and leagues. We ran a host of workshops and training courses on the day to upskill and inspire local volunteers and think of new ways to attract new volunteers to the game.
