Risk Notice

This is a formal “Risk Warning” pursuant to Section 5M of the Civil Liability Act 2002 (as amended) addressed to all persons who participate in “recreational activity” comprising cricket games for or against the Cricketers’ Club of New South Wales, Inc.

Playing cricket may be injurious to your health:

  1. There is the risk of injury or damage to your person or property from the impact of a hard cricket ball or generally from engaging in or being associated with batting, bowling, fielding or umpiring during play or practice.
  2. There is the risk of collision with other players on the field during play or practice.
  3. There is the risk of injury arising from ground conditions or the placement of boundary fences, sightscreens etc or weather conditions such as bad light, rain, heat or thunderstorm during play.
  4. There is a risk of damaging your health by play or practice. Personal risk factors could include matters such as blood pressure, heart condition, smoking, obesity, or general lack of fitness. These may be aggravated by playing, especially in humid or hot weather.
  5. There is a risk you may contract Covid-19 or other similar infectious or contagious diseases.

If you are in any doubt about your physical fitness to play, you should consult your doctor, and not play unless your doctor’s advice is positive. If you choose to play, be aware of the risks and accept responsibility for your own welfare. You may consider these risks to be obvious but in the light of the provisions of the Act, the Club considers it has little option but to advise you formally.
