Club Rules & Club Obligations To The Members

General

All playing members are required to make teas at least once per season.

All players must be at the ground at least 60 mins before the start of play on any given match day. Failure to do so means that you will not play.

Players are expected to assist in preparing the ground on match days such as the setting of boundary flags, raising of sight screens, general cleaning, etc.

Players are required to assist in tidying up the ground after the conclusion of a match. If players leave the ground before the match manager has indicated that all jobs have been done then they will not be permitted to play the following match.

In general the club will not play unregistered players. We allow a player to take part in one friendly match if he/she wishes to find out if they wish to join the club but in this case they are uninsured and play at their own risk. They cannot claim damages against the club.

The club does not provide any insurance cover against injury sustained by a player or damage to his personal effects or third party. All registered players are covered by the BCF insurance scheme.

Conduct

The club strongly upholds the Spirit of Cricket, as set out in the Preamble to the Laws. Spirit of Cricket, zoals uiteengezet in de wetten.

Members are expected to show respect for fellow members, opposition players and officials at all times, both on and off the field.

There is no place for any form of violence on or off the field of play. Anyone involved in violence will be subject to disciplinary action which may result in a ban from playing cricket or being expelled from the club. In such circumstances, the member clubs of the BCF will be informed of such action.

The use of performance enhancing substances is strictly forbidden by the club. Doping test could be carried out any time by the relevant Flemish authorities. Anyone caught taking banned drugs will face disciplinary action.

Financial

Membership implies payment of an annual subscription plus match fees.

In case, a player wishes to leave the club, he can do so by informing the chairman or secretary and by clearing all his/her debts. Any player sacked from the club on disciplinary grounds must also clear all financial obligations, otherwise, clearance will not be given by the club management for the player to transfer to another club.

Members will only be allowed to play if all debts from previous seasons are cleared except under exceptional circumstances agreed by the full club committee.

Annual subscriptions for the current season must be paid by the first league match otherwise they will be suspended from further matches until their annual subscription is paid except under exceptional circumstances agreed by the full club committee.

All new members must pay their annual subscription before they will be allowed to play.

Asylum seekers are allowed to play for free but they will be expected to come to the club on Wednesday afternoons to help with ground maintenance. Failure to do so will mean that the player is not eligible to play.
