2022 Club Awards

Seventy Welland Valley members, family and friends attended the club’s annual awards evening at Kibworth Cricket Pavilion on Saturday.

Newly-elected club chair, Judith Rout, hosted the evening; welcoming guests, club sponsors and guest speaker / TT legend Gavin Hinxman.

A raffle in aid of the Air Ambulance and Harborough Food Bank raised more than £400.

Huge thanks must go to those who have worked so hard for the club this year, particularly those who provide sponsorship and the many who volunteer their skills and services. We are very grateful and very appreciative.
