Cricket Tour of the UK
This Cricket Tour outline is based on a programme designed for an Australian school. Although destinations are shown particular schools at these locations have not been detailed, as they were relationships built up by that particular school.
You may have your own UK school relationships and we can then build all the travel logistics around this. Or, we can enlist help from the UK in introducing schools that would be interested in such a project. Help in the UK will charge a research fee, but this is modest and is designed to cover time and communication costs etc, not as a form of income. An approach to your schools administration should produce an agreement to cover this as it is not onerous.
Time of year is important as you have to usually fit within Australian and New Zealand school holidays and of course the UK end of year. This usually means a mid to late June departure from our region. We have shown how it works best with a Saturday departure from home so as to fit as much as possible with their school weeks.
