April 2010

Taking place at 7.30 on Friday 8th October at the Ley Hill Memorial Hall the senior awards presentation night this year will have a new format. The evening will be biased towards the cricket awards but will hopefully be more relaxed & casual. We are replacing the three course dinner with a curry buffet (ordered on the night) plus to keep everyone amused either side of the dinner & awards we will have indoor skittles and a picture quiz as well as the usual favourites from past years. The ladies of course are more than welcome but we are hoping to have an evening early in the new year more taylored to them specifically, when they can dress up & be entertained more in the style they have become accustomed. These changes, apart from making the evening a lot cheaper (£10 per head), we hope will make it more attractive to a larger proportion of the membership.

So please, lets see a good turnout for what promises to be a fun & entertaining evening, lauding the achievements of a successful season for our great club.

As mid-summer has past & we are on the countdown to Christmas, Eleanor is away for a week so things are a little quiet on the scorecard & top scores front. So with nothing else to do I thought I'd mull over some of the current injury issues affecting the club.

There's Kevin Phillips with his finger, sometimes it's dislocated - sometimes it isn't. Colin Bowden with his finger, or is it his calf? Ian Walter with his Achillies, Dave P's back, Michael Morris's very odd ankle (nice run up Mike!). If you know of someones strange ailment or just want to make one up to embarrass them, let me know.

Were you aware dear reader that we have an international star in our midst? Martin Cartledge is, as we speak in Eastern Europe playing softball for team GB! Keep your eyes peeled for coverage on Sky Sports, good luck Martin!

Many thanks to everyone who participated in the Charity Cricket match on Friday 11th June at Ley Hill CC.  The winners on the day were Mr Marjoribanks’ all star staff team, who managed to defeat a strong parents team in the final game.  A fantastic time was had by all. A big thank you to both Ley Hill Cricket Club for the use of their facilities and Mrs Skelt for providing lots of lovely cakes!

More importantly we managed to raise a grand total of £800 which will go towards the Henry Fraser Trust, to help Henry, a former pupil in his recovery from a spinal accident last summer.

Friday 16th April will be the club's annual preseason social evening at the pavilion. From 8.00pm onwards, with drinks & refreshments on offer, everyone is welcome.

There will be no indoor nets this coming Easter Sunday. The following Sunday, 11th April at CPS, will be an U12 & U13's session. The final session at CPS, Sunday 18th April will be for the U9, U10 & U11 age group. Due to a double booking, sessions at Westbrook Hay have come to an untimely end for both juniors & seniors. Our apologies for any disrupted training regimes.

Good news is that coaching will begin at the club week commencing Monday 19th April when a series of intra-club matches will be organised to start the season. More details to follow.
