Facilities
National K.O. vs Bristol West Indies 2006
Failand in April
OBWCC is one of the best-equipped clubs in the Bristol area, with facilities to match the highest standards. The spacious grounds accommodate two pitches, both of which have grass wickets attended by Russ Yandell, our groundsman. Both pitches also have sight-screens and scoreboxes, and the main square benefits from wicket covers.

We also have good-quality practice nets and a portable net which can be used on the square. A bowling machine and a portable 'Flicx pitch' have also been purchased recently to improve the practice facilities. The quality of our facilities has been recognised by Gloucestershire CCC, who use the ground for some of their 2nd XI fixtures.
Balloon Fiesta Weekend
The Club in based in Failand, which is just across the Suspension Bridge from Clifton. It is situated next to the Redwood Hotel, and is only about 5 minutes drive from Clifton Village. The location is ideal for anyone living in North and West Bristol, and it's also very easy to reach from the Nailsea and Backwell areas. Take a look at the 'Location' link for more information.
Practice Nets
We are also one of the only clubs to offer completely seperate male and female changing rooms, which makes life easier when the men's and women's teams are both in action.
