Local cricket club looks for volunteers

The Landsborough Cricket Club is looking to refresh their club committee and are seeking new volunteers to strengthen the club even further.

Landsborough fielded seven teams in the 2024/25 season, with the U15B and Division 4 Men’s teams winning their respective premierships.

Club secretary, Annie Kendall, said they are looking for more people in the community who may have some free time to lend a helping hand. She added that retirees would be the perfect candidates to get involved with the club.

“Whether it’s grant writing, accounting, fundraising, or simply lending a hand at events, there’s a place here for everyone,” she said. “You don’t need to know cricket to be part of the team.”

To accelerate volunteer numbers before the 2025/26 season kicks off later this year, the club is holding a community event on Saturday, May 18.

Landsborough Cricket Club invites all members of the community—especially anyone interested in volunteering or playing next season—to join them for a Club Community Meeting, friendly cricket game, and BBQ at Peace Park, from 10:30am to 12:30pm.

The club said this gathering is a great chance to review the highlights of last season and brainstorm how to make it even better for the new season.

“It’s also a fantastic opportunity for new faces to get to know the club, meet the team, and explore how they can get involved—on or off the field,” the club said.

If you are interested in joining the Landsborough Cricket Club as one of their valuable volunteers, email the club at landsboroughcricketclub@outlook.com or message them on their Facebook page at Landsborough Cricket Club.
