Club history

The club was founded in 1849.The club was initially based in Chalvey Road[3] East since its formation but moved a mile to its present location Upton Court Park ground from the 2000 season.

Slough CC[4] has produced many fine players over the years, one of which is Ian Gould. Ian played for Middlesex and captained Sussex after learning his trade at Slough and went on to represent England in the one-day game. He briefly took on the role of chairman following the retirement of Eddie Thompson in 2000. Eddie stood down after 13 years in the job and was the man responsible for overseeing the construction of the new ground. The current chairman, Tony Ellis, has returned to the role having served previously for a number of years and brings with him some much-needed discipline and direction following the departure of Ian Gould at the end of the 2001 season.
