Glamorgan Followers

Formed in 2007, Glamorgan Followers is now an established club with in excess of two hundred members. It provides Glamorgan Cricket fans living away from the area the opportunity to be associatedwith the fortunes of the County. With the support of Glamorgan Cricket, the club has been established and whilst affiliated to Glamorgan Cricket is run independently.

The Followers’ objective is to produce tangible and financial support for Glamorgan Cricket. Essentially, this is provided by people living away from Wales, although a sizeable number of people living within the Principality have joined.

In addition to financial support from sponsors, many well known figures are endorsing Glamorgan Followers. These include: Tony Lewis, CBE, DL (Patron); Max Boyce, MBE (President); and Cricket Vice Presidents Sir Viv Richards, Peter Walker and Don Shepherd.

The membership fee continues at an extremely modest £2 per month by way of standing order - this is less than a pint of beer and certainly healthier!

In return members will receive:

• a twice yearly newsletter (the first issue has been well received)
• invitation to functions at reduced rates
• a club tie or scarf which are proving to be very popular
• a free Christmas raffle for members with Glamorgan memorabilia as prizes.
• discounted rates at functions.

The inaugural dinner of Glamorgan Followers will take place in September 2007 at the Cricketers Club, London (download pdf for further information and ticket reservations) and a further dinner is planned in Swansea, during early 2008. Other exciting events are in the pipeline.

Glamorgan Followers will continue to work closely with the St. Helens Balconiers and the Sophians to further our common aim of supporting Glamorgan Cricket.

We very much hope you will feel able to join the Followers where you will be made most welcome and we look forward to meeting you.
