Western District Cricket Club

A huge thank you to our WDCC Committee for Season 2026/27!

Community sporting clubs simply cannot operate without the dedication and support of volunteers, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has put their hand up to help this season.

A special welcome to Chloe, Kayla and Chris, who are joining the Committee this season. We’re excited to have you on board!

We still have two vacant Committee positions for the upcoming season — Merchandise Manager and Director of Sponsorship. If you’re interested in getting involved and helping support the club, we’d love to hear from you.

🏏 WDCC OPEN SENIOR PRE-SEASON TRAINING 🏏

📅 Sunday 30th August
📍 Aranda Oval
⏰ 10:30am – 12:30pm

Training is open to all players playing Grade Cricket for WDCC Men’s or Women’s teams.

Pre-season training will continue every Sunday at Aranda Oval until further notice.

Come down, get amongst it and get ready for the season! 🏏🔥

Reminder to get along to our AGM on Thursday night! It is a great opportunity to get involved with the Club committee and catch up with your mates. We’ll get underway from 7pm but invite you to come early and grab a meal at Eastlake Gungahlin beforehand. We look forward to seeing you there! 🦁

The WDCC Annual General Meeting will be held at Eastlake Gungahlin, from 7pm on Thursday 20 August.

Attending our AGM is a great way to understand how the Club functions and makes key decisions. It would be great to see you there to help shape the future of Wests, and so you can stay informed, and share your views. If nothing else, you’ll be able to catch up with some mates.

To nominate for a Committee position please contact our President Ryan Selmes, Secretary Matt Veitch, or email [email protected]

We look forward to seeing you there! 🏏
