The Western District Cricket Union (WDCU) administer the senior league cricket we participate in on Saturdays and the Cup competitions which run in the West, and, of which, we are a member club.

Attached below is an open letter from the WDCU to Clubs, players, administrators, officials and cricket supporters in the West District cricket region.

Summary
- Acknowledgement: WDCU thanks clubs for their support over the past 3 years and admits challenges in meeting expectations.

- Current Situation:

• WDCU remains under Special Measures from Cricket Scotland, limited to disciplinary and appeals processes.
• No restrictions on other operations; WDCU continues as the largest region in Scotland.

- Call for Action:

• Need for stronger governance and representation across committees.
• Request for volunteers from clubs to bring fresh ideas and energy.

- Future Outlook:

• AGM notices will follow soon.
• Emphasis on collaboration, fairness, and development of cricket in the region.

Next Steps
1. Volunteer Engagement: Identify members willing to join committees—especially those with governance or operational experience.
2. Feedback Loop: Prepare constructive feedback/proposals/nominations prior to the AGM to help shape priorities.
3. Communication: Share this letter widely within your club to encourage participation.
4. Governance Support: Offer expertise in compliance, process improvement, or disciplinary frameworks if available

The WDCU AGM will be held in early January for which notices will be sent in due course.

Committee nominations should be made by member clubs 21 days in advance of the AGM, with a nomination and seconder for each nominee from a member club. "We feel this is the right time to appeal for candidates to the committees."
