'A Club for everyone, a Club to be proud of'
After over 230 years of cricket at Farnham we are proud to be the latest generation of cricketers to represent our Club. We are proud of Farnham's playing history, of the thousands of players who have been introduced to cricket and learned to love the game at Farnham, of the families who have been involved in our Club over the years, of the friendships forged on and off the field, and of the role we play in our community. We play at a high standard in competitive leagues, and our aim is to compete fairly, show respect to our opponents, and to win our matches. We seek to enable all our players of whatever age or ability to enjoy the game and realise their full potential; we offer a social environment which is welcoming and open to all, and we develop partnerships with sponsors, supporters and with our community. As the latest custodians of the Club we will represent Farnham cricket with pride before, in turn, handing on to the next generation.

CLUB VALUES

Farnham Cricket Club has a set of Values which reflects the ethos of the Club and makes it a special place.

Celebrate the success of others
On field performances of teammates and players in other FCC teams; county recognition of fellow players; good results by other teams; personal landmarks by players at all levels; recognition of volunteers and their contribution to the Club

One Club
We are one Farnham Cricket Club: Senior and Junior sections interested in the results and performances of each other; new members are actively welcomed and integrated; Junior members aspire to play for the Senior teams; senior members actively support and encourage young players; parents/family members of junior members feel part of the wider Club

We play our part
It is our Club, and the environment is what we make it; we are a Club founded upon its membership and what we are each able to contribute; we are reliant upon what we can each offer to support and develop our Club; we play our part where we can, we share the load, and do not leave it to others if we have something to offer

Win with grace, lose with dignity
Winning is important to us but it is not everything; the game is more enjoyable and new players are attracted when the team is successful, but performances 'for the team' and individuals giving of their best, fulfilling their potential and enjoying the game is equally valued

Professional and Prepared
Regular attendance at training; practising to improve skills; individuals open to feedback; punctuality and professional appearance; holding each other to account for performances and adhering to collectively agreed standards and behaviours

These behaviours have been critical to our longevity and to the attraction that we hold for our members. These Values are key to the continued success of the Club and to the achievement of the objectives outlined in this Plan, and underpin our decision making. We test our decisions and our plans against these Values to ensure that our actions will be acceptable to members past and present, and that they are consistent with the ethos of the Club.
