Chippenham CC was established in 1885 and since then has been a major part of Wiltshire, Western League and now ECB West of England Premier League Cricket. The club, in its past, has had some very successful periods, being the top club around, and have won many a trophy and league. The club is now looking to establish themselves once more as the leading force in Cricket in the South West and this will be done through hard work and continuous development with the talented young cricketers that the club is currently producing.

Our senior 1st XI side will be playing in West of England Premier Division 2 this season and is therefore looking forward to playing at a high level of club cricket at venues in Somerset, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. This means that in the pyramid system we are only 1 promotion away from playing Premier League Division 1 cricket again, something that I strongly believe we will achieve in the next 4 years. With our senior sides giving youngsters the opportunity to play at weekends, we are attracting more to play at the club; this in turn means that we need to provide better practice facilities and more qualified coaches and we are currently in negotiations with Chippenham Town Council for another pitch in the town. The 2nd XI side won promotion last year and this year will be competing in the Premier 1 2nd XI competition. This is a great position for the club as it narrows the gap between 1st XI and 2nd XI cricket

As well as working towards building a strong senior section we are fully committed to the junior section of the club and run coaching nights every Wednesday and Thursday during the summer. This is organised and delivered by a large youth committee, boasting 20+ qualified coaches and fields 5 sides, between U9 and U15 in league and cup competitions. We have worked hard to achieve Clubmark, which is awarded to clubs by the ECB who look after their youth sections by providing a safe, structured and organised club with qualified and CRB checked coaches, along with ensuring the safety and wellbeing of children while at the club.

The club, boasting over 150 playing and social members, is very forward thinking with a strong management committee and sub committees; looking to move the club forwards both on and off the pitch. In 2008 Chippenham CC will be fielding 4 senior Saturday sides, a senior Sunday team as well as sides to play in mid week Twenty20 cup competitions.

We received our award in 2004 and are due for re-accreditation again this year. We are also 1 of only 14 ECB Focus Clubs in Wiltshire, which again further emphasizes the standard of the club.

The aim of club is to provide the means by which any cricketers, or would be cricketers, in North Wiltshire can achieve their potential regardless of their ability, gender or age.

Chippenham Cricket Club is very active with local schools and other sports clubs.

We currently use facilities at Sheldon School in Chippenham for the home fixtures for our 3rd and 4th XI teams. We use the indoor sports centre at Sheldon for indoor winter coaching and nets.

We have regular associations with Hardenhuish Secondary school. The local primary schools in the Chippenham area all attend our weekly Kwik Cricket League.
