Please read this whole document and take the action requested on kit ASAP.

We are proud of everything that Taunton Deane Cricket Club provides to its members. However, these all come with significant running costs that have been rising rapidly.

This season there will be a small increase to annual subscriptions. We are also launching our new club kit for the next three seasons. We are therefore combining subscription fees and kit into one package. Every playing member will receive the playing shirts they need when representing the club at cost price.

Please note:

· Total fees in 2026 will be higher this season but will reduce in 2027 and 2028 when kit will not be included in total membership fees.

· Women’s section fees for this season have increased slightly more in percentage terms as we enter a two-year phase to equalise senior fees across the whole club.

· Junior fees have been held at last season’s rates.

· Players playing senior cricket on Saturdays (+ any student players selected) will be required to wear two designs of club shirts (white and coloured) in matches. All other playing members (women and junior) will require one new coloured playing shirt (* see table below).

New Kit – Order Process

Please complete this order form by Sunday 15th February - Taunton Deane CC - Kit Order Form 2026 – Fill in form.

Please click your relevant membership which will then allow you to order the kit required for yourself.

A short deadline is in place and orders must be placed within this window to enable them to arrive before the season and to be part of the membership payment. Any kit ordered outside of this window will be charged at the full retail price. By completing the form and ordering in advance you are committing to the purchase of this club kit (and any associated memberships).

All club shirts provided through the membership offer at cost price will be short sleeved.

It will be possible for players to order Long Sleeved shirts within the pre-order deadline if they wish but these will be charged at full retail price and payment will be allocated on Pitchero.

Any additional shirts or other TDCC clothing products can be purchased separately through the Somerset County Sport (SCS) website as last season.

Queries with kit please contact Mark Norman or Sam Burgess.

When compared with other clubs, our fees remain excellent value for money as we seek to continue to provide all the benefits that being a member of this great club brings.

I look forward to a great season on and off the field for all members at TDCC.
