Social Events, Cricket Week & Annual Tour
Eastwood Cricket Club is always active and we organise various functions on top of our league commitments.
Social Events
Over the past season/year we organised a beer pong, curry night, our Annual Awards, Christmas Party (all at Belfairs Sports & Social Clubhouse_, trips to watch T20 at Essex and other events outside of cricket to keep members in touch. These have been well attended and received events.

Cricket Week
Every year the club organises a whole week of cricket held at Belfairs Recreation Ground in Leigh on Sea. Normally held last week of July / first week of August. We have a number of annual matches such as the 40/45 over match v Laconics Cricket Club (now been going for 25 years), Maylands Green for a T20 and the week wraps up with a President XI v Chairman XI where a number of ex club members return for their one match of the season. The other days are taken up with adhoc matches of touring sides, Evening League, Vets or a club outing depending on availability of opposition. Due to the social nature of this week the club aim to put on two or three cask ales during this week from local breweries.
Keep an eye out on Fixture List for this season's dates and matches.
Annual Tour
The club after the league season finishes embarks on its annual tour to a set destination for 3 days comprising of either 2 or 3 matches, along with various non cricket social activities. It is always well subscribed and enjoyed by everyone who attends.
Trips in the last three years have seen Isle of Wight, Somerset and Norwich.
In addition it would be rude not to mention Eastwood Cricket Club's finest moment and what we are most known for... Village cricket fail (youtube.com) came from tour.
