New Sponsor and new Kit Supplier
Members should, hopefully, have seen our message sent out this week confirming our new Club sponsor, Vigilant Security, and a new kit supplier, Gray Nichols, for which there is an online club shop (sign up for the early bird discounts) and use your club cricket membership package credit (see below).

Cricket Packages
Cricket Membership Packages for the season, for senior and junior cricket, can be purchased online on this website.

We are asking adults to arrange their required Dumfries Sports Club membership directly with the Sports Club in addition to the Senior Cricket Package. The Sports Club membership can be completed online here

Juniors also require a Primary Junior or Secondary Junior Dumfries Sports Club membership and a junior cricket package. Parents can also organise the Sports Club membership direct if they wish. Alternatively we will facilitate that depending on the junior cricket package purchased (i.e.. for Non -DSC or existing DSC members).

We are having another working party on Saturday.from 10:30am. Contact Robert (McBride) if you can help and for more details. The aim is to complete the maintenance of the nets training area so that it is available for training. So a lot of work for us to do and plenty of help would be appreciated.
