We at BACC are proud of our facilities at the Concorde Club in Cranford, which are arguably second to none in the league or in the local area. We can stage up to three matches at any given time with the benefits of all the modern equipment being available (e.g. wicket covers, etc). The ground consists of two lush grass squares and two all weather artificial wicket. The Concorde Club house has a restaurant that caters for hot meals almost all day, and a fully licensed bar with large TV screens.

New Memberships:
New members are always welcome and can contact the section committee members for joining information. This year BA Clubs has opened its membership for non-BA staff. That is if an individual is sponsored by the BACC, then he/she is able to join the BA Clubs and BACC. These affiliate memberships are to be reviewed each season.
If you are interested in joining the Cricket section, then please obtain an application form from the BA Clubs reception and hand it to one of the committee members after completing it with a cheque payable to BA Clubs.
In case of affiliate membership, the individual must also complete a BA Clubs affiliate membership form and make a separate cheque payable to BA Clubs for the year's subscriptions. The Cricket section committee will then review the application and make a decision on recommending the individual to BA Clubs for its membership.
Colt Section Under 17:
Due to the demand from the club members, we have started the colt section for under 17 this year. We provide all the necessary equipment for the children. There is always some one to look after the colt section. BA staff have given us support financially to buy the equipment. BDM from India, the manufacturer of cricket equipment have also promised to give us lots of equipment for the Colts.
If your child/children is interested, please come to the out door cricket net on Tuesday or Thursday or call
