Off the field the club has reaped the rewards for their efforts with a £57k facility improvements package.

The first part of the ground upgrade has taken place with half of the square being relaid, along with a new synthetic match pitch. Two new synthetic practice pitches have also been installed, while new grass nets have been laid to give the club a total of five practice bays. In total there has been £45k's worth of improvements.
The clubhouse has been received a £12k upgrade to accommodate the Buckingham Pre School Playgroup.

There are plans being made to purchase wicket covers at some stage during 2005.
There has been a relationship started with the Buckingham School, who have just received Sports College status, which could be beneficial in years to come.
