To all members

When you become a member of Boxmoor Cricket Club, you all sign up to the Codes of Conduct. This is because we are a family club that encourages youngsters to join us and play cricket in a friendly and safe environment. As a reminder these codes of Conduct are published on our website and can be found here: https://www.boxmoorcricketclub.co.uk/pages/page_6894/CodesofConduct.aspx

However, recently there have been reports of drug abuse at the pavilion. This was discussed at the last Committee Meeting and the 18 month ban will be enforced if any member or member's guest is found guilty. The relevant Code of Conduct is: as follows:

Code of Conduct Drugs and Banned Substances

The Executive Committee at Boxmoor Cricket Club values the fact that we are a family club which promotes the playing of cricket at all levels, and the right behaviour of its members on and off the pitch through our Club Mark status and its own Code of Conduct.

Boxmoor Cricket Club has a zero tolerance policy on drugs and banned substances in and around the pavilion. Anyone who is found in possession of a banned substance, or is witnessed consuming a banned substance, will be subject to disciplinary action. Members are reminded that any instances should be reported to a member of the Committee, and that they are also responsible for the actions of their guests, whilst present at the Club, who must also follow the club’s Code of Conduct.

Any member reported in breach of the above regulations, will be banned for a minimum period of 18 months. After this period, future membership of the Club will need to be applied for, and will be at the discretion of the Committee or delegated sub- committee.

Under age drinking

We also take this opportunity to remind all members that we do not serve alcohol to anyone under the age of 18. We will also refuse sale if an adult buys it for an under age drinker. To do so is a breach of our license.

Hon. Secretary on behalf of the Committee
