We at the Beehive are more than a cricket club, we are a community. And in tough times like these, we know that being a community means helping each other. So we decided to try and do our bit by transforming our own exercise into something meaningful and fun. 

Starting on the 23rd of January, members and their families are using their individual exercise routines (getting ready for the season!) to complete, together, a 2596 mile journey around 22 of the UK's cricket grounds . We've created this challenge to raise money for our club and for the incredible local charity Ruksak , that helps children in poverty. 

To make it a bit of fun, there will be a few competitions along the way, like fancy dress. We can't get out together but we can still work together and share this experience.

Thanks for reading and for any donation! We will keep you posted about our progress. We have until the 13th of march to do our challenge and raise as much money as we can for this great cause.

"Up the 'hive"!
