Post millenium
Within the keeping and precedents of previous eras the Club was led into the new Milliennium by President Andrew's Smith's drive to improve facilities.

Through fund raising and grants from a number of agencies, two alweather practice nets were erected at a cost of £16,000.

In 2005, the next phase of development, an extension to the Pavillion was completed at a cost of @£86,000. A large proportion of this came from the ECB's Community Club Development Fund which Illingworth had been able to access as an identified ECB Focus Club.

This status reflected the high quality provision of cricket, especially at junior level. The Club achieved ECB / Sport England ClubMark status in 2004 and was presented with the Certicate by the legendary Umpire, Dickie Bird.

The Club undertook a Pilot Initiative on behalf of the ECB, Sport England, Department for Culture, Media & Sport and the Department for Education and Skills which promoted luinks between the Club and local Schools. The success led to another year's funded work beforte being invited to take part in the ECB & Cricket Foundation's Chance to Shine Scheme.

The Club's future is dependent upon producing its own palyers and has begun the new Millennium in a strong position.
