Fixture Cards are here!

This years new “wallet” sized fixture cards arrived this morning.

So now its on my back to get the sponsorship letters out asap!

Players can get theirs from me when we meet to sort the field and pavilion out over Easter weekend!

20/20 Team Name

2010 sees the start of something that everyone hopes will be the huge success it should be. The 1st 20/20 competition, with coloured clothing, pink balls, big sixes, slog sweeps, sunshine (we hope), and maybe  scantily clad cheerleaders (any volunteers?!), will all get underway on the 19th of June.

However before we start, the surprisingly forward thinking League Committee have asked each club to come up with a team nickname that would be used for this exciting 20/20 competition, mirroring the names the county game had to come up with when the 1st 20/20 cup was played. For example Durham CCC became Durham Dynamo’s and Middlesex CCC became Middlesex Crusaders (before changing it to something else because someone thought it might be insulting… *yawn*)

So you should see a poll with a list of names to the right of the screen with a list of names, compiled from various sources, to choose from. Please note that you can choose more than one name. The winning name will be put to the League for approval, at which point I’ll start working on a new team logo with a view of creating a brand we can use to build our club.

New Captain and a HUGE thank you!

Just a quick not to say that our AGM was held a few weeks ago and I WILL eventually get the minutes typed up and dispatched around the necessary persons.

A few notes to come out of the meeting, firstly Kevin Wilson will take the reins for the 2010 season (and hopefully beyond) we’ll all wish him well and pray his batting and bowling prowess won’t suffer with the added responsibility!

Secondly, a huge thank you to Mark & Myles Dean from The Horseshoes Inn, Rennington, who did a charity bungee jump from the Transporter Bridge in Middlesbrough, half of the money they raised is being donated to the club! Many thanks to them both!

Sponsorship letter should be getting distributed in the next 2 weeks once I receive the wallet sized fixture cards that should be on their way from the printers!
