IT’S NOT JUST CRICKET! E
ven some Barnt Green residents may not be aware that their vil- lage contains a hidden gem – a
lively place, especially in the summer, with good food, good drinking and great entertainment on Friday nights. Where is this gem? Look no further than the village cricket club! Barnt Green Cricket Club is a hive of social activity and everyone is welcome. In addition to playing and teaching cricket, which the club is pretty good at, it also hosts a number of social events throughout the year including the famous (or infamous) annual cricket club ball, which this year is on September 23. Future events include a sporting lunch on March 16, live music from “Taylormade” on March 17, and the big reunion dinner on March 18. Over the summer there is sometimes a band or a disco. All events are posted on the website and tickets can be
