After a lovely stroll through Worcester center and then along the river, we decided it was time to…read morehave a beverage. My partner mentioned that there was a county cricket game and suggested we go over and see about paying in to watch the game for an hour or two. We got there and found an open gate that people were walking through, so we walked through as well. The place was not very full at all, but my it was impressive. The oval surface looked immaculate. The lovely day added to it, but you could see the place is maintained well. So we found the bar and ordered two pints. The bar staff were friendly and very polite. We stepped out and took two seats and marveled at the lovely view. A fabulous grounds and Worcester Cathedral in the backdrop. I have to be honest and say I am not the biggest fan of cricket. But my partner is and he is passing on his love of the game to me. Worcestershire were playing Yorkshire. It was lovely to be there, but as we had sneaked in, we decided it just wouldn't be fair to stay. So as soon as we had finished our pints and taken a few pictures, we were on our way. I can imagine myself being a member of the Worcestershire County Cricket Club someday... maybe when I have learned all the rules and fall in love with cricket as much as my partner has. But my visit to this club has definitely started me on my way

For my daughters 8th birthday i took her and some friends to watch CCR in a bout. I was nervous…read morethat the kids may get bored.... how wrong i was, to be worrying! Feedback from parents was that their kids won't stop talking about it! I bought each of the girls a lovely pin badge and sticker, from the merch stall (instead of the usual goody bag of tat) and when given them at the end of the day, they all handled them like they'd been given a piece of treasure, which was lovely to see. One mum has reported back to me that her daughter is wearing hers everyday. To top it off, the birthday girl said it was the BEST BIRTHDAY EVER. From my perspective, the day out to watch CCR, went down a treat because the children could watch when and as much as they wanted to yet still play and be typical kids. Not many places they are allowed to do that! As soon as we walked in everyone was very welcoming and friendly, one lady brought colouring sheets of roller derby players and a huge box of crayons over to the kids, whilst another chap brought extra chairs out for us. Right at the end everyone lined up so the derby players could roll past and slap their hands... the hand slaps went down a treat, you'd think the kids hand all just shook hands with royalty! The CCR girls went out of their way to give my youngest (2yr old) mini slaps, kudos from me and the grandparents there it was so cute! There was just a wonderful atmosphere, buzzing, lively, fun, friendly! Even my parents really enjoyed it, now they want to go back to watch more and at first they weren't going to come with us at all! Under 12s were free to get in, I only had to pay for the adults which worked out at about five quid each having bought online in advance. There were cupcakes for sale, a raffle, merch stalls for the different teams and a skate hut stall selling all sorts of bits and bobs for any skaters needs. There were vending machines in the sports centre for buying drinks but we took bottles of juice in and snacks to. I knew my best friend and I would enjoy the day, we have all our outdoor skate gear and so far have managed to wobble up and down the hall lol. Me far more pathetically than she. I need to hurry up and let myself fall, so I can get over the fear! We were both oozing friendly jealousy at the awesomeness of the skating from CCR We have been inspired to get on and learn properly by taking advantage of the lessons offered by CCR, on a Saturday. This really is a sport for any age, wether you be watching on the side lines and cheering the skaters on. Or if you want to strap some skates on your feet and have a go yourself.... Go for it, I promise you won't regret it. Especially within such a lovely environment full of skilled, friendly folks.
