Movember
This year, WPHCCC is actively supporting the Movember initiative to raise funds for Men’s Mental Health.
This weekend, we ask that players / parents make a donation to this cause and then wear a mo (to be provided) whilst playing their matches, or at least have a team photo afterwards. Parents are invited to join in the fun too.
Please send your team photos to Ross: send photos

What is the Social Smash
For those new to this concept it is as much about having a game of cricket with other women in a safe and non-judgemental environment as it is about laying out a blanket on the ground after the game and sharing a glass of wine and nibbles with friends and new found friends without having to rush home.
