Cornwall Cricket Board is excited to announce the winners of the annual prize draw for children attending their popular holiday camps. Each year, all participants are entered into a draw for a chance to win a wooden cricket bat of their choice. This year, seven-year-old Arthur Gunn was one of the two lucky winners.

Arthur, who has been attending Cornwall Cricket’s holiday camps regularly, says he loves the camps because he gets to see his friends, learn new cricket skills, and, above all, have lots of fun. His mum, Jodie, praised the programme, saying, “Arthur always comes home saying he’s had the best day. The coordinators are fantastic – they’re friendly, connect well with the kids, and create a fun, safe environment where I know Arthur will be looked after.”
