Cheltenham Cricket Society is one of around 30 cricket societies affiliated to the Cricket Societies’ Association. 

6 or 7 Guest speaker meetings are arranged for each season running from October through to April for the benefit of members. The meetings are held on the evening of the first Wednesday of the month starting at 7:30pm with doors opening at 7:00pm. The Victory Club in Cheltenham has been the host venue since 2001.

A “Summer Special” is often arranged. The most recent one was an evening with David Gower in August 2023.
