The Ploughmans Annual Tour is the stuff of myth and legend. The biggest and, arguably, best social occasion of the year. Looked forward to in equal measures of excitement and trepidation. The tours started way back in the early 90s when venues such as Norfolk and the New Forest were sourced, cricket was played, fines were promulgated (and paid) and beer was imbibed in vast quantities. As the Club grew, so did the tour, and it has always been a great source of pride to the Club that tour has always been very inclusive. Not just a weekend away with the lads, Tour is open to everyone - wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, kids, pets and any other random hangers-on (and there's been plenty of those!)

One such Tour in the late-90's found Ploughmans CC in the beautiful Cotswold village of Fairford, and so it came to pass that The Bull Hotel carved out its own very special and utterly unique place in Ploughmans folklore. Along with the most agreeable landlord in the UK, the Cricket Club did its absolute utmost to ensure a good time was had by all and managed to achieve the rather dubious honour of being the hotel's second biggest weekend of each year behind an international air show! Over the years, The Bull's hospitality, patience and hardworking bar staff were tested to the very outer limits of what could be described as acceptable and decent but in the process secured the tag of 'spiritual home' to Ploughmans CC.

Sadly, after 11 years, PCC said goodbye to The Bull as the landlord moved onto pastures new but as one door closed, another one opened and the Ploughmans overseas tours were born. Our first in 2014, with an enormous tour of just over 50 people, visited the Mediterranean island of Malta for some cricket and the sun. Since then our annual Club Tour has seen us travel from Bordeaux to Budapest and Corfu to Cyprus.
