Newcastle Cricket Club welcomes your involvement – as visitors, as members, as sports participants, as funders or as organisers and supporters of events. We’re a new club, rebuilding fast thanks to the support for more than 150 volunteers and many hundreds of members. The Jesmond Ground was founded more than 125 years ago; a two year campaign to ensure it stayed open resulted in 2006 in a new partnership between our club and the Royal Grammar School.

GOVERNANCE FOR COMMUNITY AMATEUR SPORTS CLUBS (CASCS)
Newcastle Cricket Club changed to become a social enterprise (a Community Interest Company) in 2015 following changes to the Government rules on CASCs, which bring financial benefits to sports sports clubs.

  • Newcastle Cricket Club CIC (company number 09491842) is the parent company. You can read the Articles here.
  • Newcastle Cricket Club (Community) Limited (company number 09544501) is a wholly-owned subsidiary. You can read the Articles here.

The changes were approved by Special Member Meetings on 24 November 2014 and 26 March 2015. A summary of the background and Frequently Asked Questions was provided.
