East Meon Cricket Club – ACM Panel Honours Board

ACM panel honours board for East Meon Cricket Club showing full board with gold vinyl lettering and club crest.

ACM

East Meon Cricket Club, tucked into the South Downs near Petersfield in Hampshire, approached us for a single large honours board to record decades of club history in one place. The brief was straightforward in spirit but demanding in scale. The club wanted the warmth and presence of a traditional wooden board, with the durability and lighter weight of a modern panel system. They also needed enough room on the wall to bring batting, bowling, and captaincy records together without splitting them across multiple frames.

We designed and manufactured a bespoke cricket honours board built around an ACM panel with a wood effect vinyl face, finished in gold digitally printed graphics. One board. One wall. The full history of the club, properly presented.

Design Highlights

The board was produced at 2311 × 1082mm, a generous landscape format that suited the wall space at the club and gave us room to lay out multiple categories side by side. The substrate is 3mm ACM (aluminium composite material), chosen for its flatness, rigidity, and resistance to warping in a clubhouse environment where temperature and humidity can shift through the seasons.

Across the face we applied IPWOB5 wood effect vinyl, which gives the board the appearance of a traditional timber honours board while keeping the weight down and the surface perfectly even. From a few paces away it reads as wood. Up close, the finish is clean and consistent, with none of the grain variation you sometimes get on real veneer.

All names, headings, and dividing lines were produced in IP5797 gold digitally printed vinyl with a matt laminate over the top to protect the graphics and reduce glare. The matt finish was a deliberate call. Gloss gold can flare under clubhouse lighting, and matt holds its legibility from any angle. The board was supplied with face-fixed screws for direct mounting to the wall, with the fixing positions worked into the layout so they sit cleanly between columns rather than cutting through text. For more on this style of finish, see our acrylic honours boards range.

Summary

Village cricket clubs often have the longest histories and the smallest budgets, and East Meon is a good example of how to balance the two. A full ACM panel with a wood effect vinyl face gives the look of a traditional board at a fraction of the weight, which matters when you are fixing a board over two metres wide to a clubhouse wall. It also keeps the door open for future updates, since adding new names is a matter of applying further vinyl rather than re-cutting a timber panel.

For cricket clubs in particular, we tend to find that one large board works better than several smaller ones. It reads as a single, coherent record, and it gives players a clear target. Centuries on one side, five-wicket hauls on the other, captains running down the middle. As you'd expect, we set the board up with capacity for years of additions before the layout starts to feel crowded.

We have produced honours boards for cricket clubs across the country, from village sides to county grounds, and the East Meon project sits comfortably in that tradition. Modern materials, traditional presentation, and a finish that should look the same in twenty years as it does today.
