Governance

Every sports club today must be fully aware of its responsibilities for the health and safety of its members and of those visiting the ground. It must also have a clear plan for dealing with members’ information. And in terms of the playing of cricket itself, the club must respect the traditions of the game and ensure that matches are played in the right spirit.

Merrion Cricket Club is committed to attaining and maintaining the highest standards of governance. These standards are set out in a series of documents, starting with the Club Rules.

In order to ensure that these standards are met the club relies of volunteer members to oversee their operation but it is really down to each and every member to ensure that cricket is played in a safe environment and in accordance with the spirit of the game.

 

Merrion is run through a series of committees that are made up of volunteer members. The structure, and who is on the key committees, can be viewed by clicking below.
