News | Website 2008: The site roars back to life for the 2008 season, better late than never. Under the new regime of Captain Henry Dodson and Vice Captain Suraj Varma, the team is looking stronger than ever on the field. The club now operates under the watchful eye of Chairman David Maddocks, who continues to captains the selected matches he plays.
We have a new format for match reports. Each report will be uploaded in PDF format, with more comprehensive narrative and an easier-to-print format. Hope you enjoy this innovation for 2008.

About:
The Chelsea Arts Club Cricket Club was founded in 1984 by David Maddocks and Stephen Bartley. The first fixture was played on 8th July, 1984 against the Arts Council.
From our modest beginning of 2 fixtures in 1984, we now play about 20 matches a season. Almost all are played out of London, including 3 weekend tours (Cornwall, Wiltshire & Somerset). In 2004, our 20th year, we embarked on our first ever overseas tour, and played the Maltese national side. In 2006 we toured Estonia, and emerged the Ice Cricket World Champions. Our achievement brought significant media coverage, including an article in Inside Cricket magazine and TV coverage on BBC1's Breakfast programme. The story and video footage was also syndicated worldwide by Reuters.
We play cricket purely for fun with social people. Whatever type of player you are (or think you are), contact our Captain and come join us. We have had all standards playing for us in the past, so even if you have never played before, come along to see whether you enjoy this wonderful game with us.
