History
Stroud Cricket Club was founded by George Poulett Scroupe in 1850. After moving around the Stroud district for many years, SCC finally settled at Farmhill in the 1880s, where it remained until September 2010 when the Club ground at Farmhill was sold to Newland Homes for property development. This enabled the club to purchase extensive new grounds, improved facilities, and also secured Stroud Cricket Club’s financial future.
What is ClubMark?
ECB Clubmark is an accreditation scheme for cricket clubs and is licensed from Sport England as part of their wider Clubmark scheme.
ECB Clubmark shows that a club is well run and provides the right environment for its members. Clubmark accreditation also means your club is recognised as a safe, rewarding and fulfilling place for participants of all ages, as well as assuring parents and carers that they are choosing the right option for their young people.
Stroud Cricket Club is proud to have held a ClubMark registration since 2010.
The Club has adopted the ECB Club Inclusion & Diversity Policy “One Game” and “Safe Hands” Cricket’s Policy for Safeguarding Children
