500 Club
The 500 Club is run by The Friends of Darwen Cricket Club, our charitable arm supporting all investment in facilities and equipment at Birch Hall. Revenue from the 500 Club has been instrumental in supporting the projects to build the new clubhouse and the upcoming outdoor practice facility, as well as many of our junior initiatives.
The 500 Club draw takes place every month with seven cash prizes on offer. In addition we also host three special prizes draws each year.
