Attached to the Conygre Hall and suitably white. Timsbury are in the Bristol & District Cricket Association Senior Division for 2015 and run three teams. One historical item worth mentioning was the club's innovative method of drying a wet wicket in 1983: former Somerset C.C.C. captain, Brian Rose, was due to appear in a testimonial match but the weather leading up to it was foul. Club chairman Eric Nott half-heartedly claimed they ought to get a helicopter to dry it out. Somehow the idea was taken seriously and thanks to sponsor involvement a helicopter arrived to hover above the batting strip!
