This year we have received a grant from ‘Play sport London’. This programme provides grant funding to sports clubs and community groups in order to encourage greater participation in sport in the build up to the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The grant means that we will be able to run the winter nets at no cost to the colt. We need to ensure that the places are open to everyone and do not show any discrimination or favouritism. Everyone must therefore apply using the criteria as set out on the Play sport website and once the free of charge spaces are taken we will not be able to take anyone else.

We are pleased to announce that the 4th XI will be playing their home fixtures at Bramley Road, Southgate, N14 4HL. An agreement has been reached with the Old Minchendenians Association whereby Cockfosters C.C. will have the use of the Minchendenians ground and facilities at Bramley Road as the "home" venue for the 4th XI for a minimum period of two years. As part of this agreement Cockfosters C.C. will be entering a 5th XI into the Herts League in 2010.

The club has achieved ECB Clubmark accreditation, awarded to clubs that meet criteria across four areas: Duty of Care and Safeguarding Children; the Cricket Programme the club offers; Sports Equity and Ethics; & Club Management. For more information follow the Clubmark link.
