Congratulations to Ashfaq...

IMPORTANT - Cricket Club Registration Fees
Please read!
The club are now accepting the Registration Fees. As previously mentioned the cost is £20 per person, or the provision of one cricket tea (for a home game) during the season (this generally comes to around £20)
We'd encourage all players to pay the £20 rather than provide a tea, although this is entirely your choice. If you choose to make a tea you must inform us of this before Sunday, 3rd April - failure to do so will require you to pay the £20 cash amount instead. If you want to pay the £20 but are unable to do so in one amount, we will accept payment in smaller amounts but this must be paid in full before the end of April.
This money is vital, without it there would be no cricket as it goes towards the substantial running costs of the club. You can read the full breakdown of costs here, but as one example the club has to find a minimum of £530 to cover the costs of buying enough cricket balls for the season.
Before you do anything else please e-mail the club on: eastkeswickcc@gmail.com and state how you wish to pay the £20 registration fee and whether this will be in one or more payments. You can bring the money along to the cricket nets at Headingley.
Edit: Anyone playing the occasional game will not be required to pay £20 fee.
Edit: Most other clubs charge £40+ for their player registration fees!

Club Shirts & Caps - Important
The club is looking to have made some more shirts and caps this season - ideally we would like every player to have at least a shirt with the logo stitched on. To have the shirts made will cost £15 each, caps £7. Whilst the club might look to subsidize some of the costs, and allow people to pay in installments, we'd like players to indicate how much they will pay for the shirts. To help please take part in the poll over on the right side of the website!
The shirts look like this:

Player Availability - 2011 Season
One of the main issues in sorting out two teams for each week of the season is knowing when players are available for selection. Therefore if you already know that you will be unavailable on a particular Saturday (between the 16th April and 10th September) can you please let us know now so we can plan accordingly.
Additionally please try and remember to inform the club of your unavailability as the season progresses. The more notice you can give us, the better - although we accept this is not always possible.

Averages - Update
Overall bowling statistics have been added to the Statistics page for the period 2008-2010. Fielding statistics will also be added in the next few days.
Additionally the website is undergoing a few changes to accommodate new information, so you might notice pages being removed or added in the next few weeks. For instance there will be a new Documents page added (replacing the Match Reports page which will be removed. This will host links to a variety of club documents available to download, one of which will be Cricket Stats Tracker Solo - a very handy (and free) Excel spreadsheet used to keep track of your individual batting and bowling performances over the coming season.

1st Team Scorer Required - PAID JOB!
Under WCL rules the 1st team must provide someone outside of the 11 selected players to act as the clubs scorer for each Saturday game. As a result East Keswick are looking for someone (or some people) to do the job throughout the season.
The club would pay £15 per game, provide a free cricket tea as well as transport to and from the games. If you would like to do this job (or know of someone who might!) then please contact the club at: eastkeswickcc@gmail.com. If you have not scored before or need refreshing on what to do, then training would be given.
Note: At present it is possible that not everybody wanting a game will play each and every week due to the number of players we have. So if you are intending on playing for the club but are tempted by earning some money on a Saturday afternoon should you not make the final XI, then please get in touch.

IMPORTANT - Player Fees
East Keswick CC wants to make sure that everyone who wants to play can afford to play, so with this in mind the club has agreed the following prices for the 2011 season. Please read the following carefully and if you have any questions or concerns please contact Andrew Hirst on: eastkeswickcc@gmail.com
As an example of the costs....If you are a student and the game is at home it would cost you £3.00, or £5.50 with a tea. If you are a student and playing away from home you would have to pay £5.50 each week as the Wetherby Cricket League states that away teams must pay a fixed amount per team for their teas*.
The club hopes these costs are affordable for everyone who wants to play for the club. Other teams charge considerably higher prices for registration and match day fees. However, if you genuinely think you cannot afford the cost then contact the club at the e-mail address mentioned above.
*If you are wondering why you have to pay for a tea away from home, even if you don't want anything to eat, it is because in recent seasons home teams have made food for the away team only for their players to choose not to eat anything. This resulted in a waste of food, time and money. The WCL decided therefore to make each away team pay a fixed amount for the tea which works out at £25 per team, or roughly £2.50 each player)
Match Day Fee: (price to play per home/away game)
£5.00 (Adults in full-time work)
£3.00 (Students, unemployed)
Home Games: Optional cost of buying a tea: £2.50
Away Games: Compulsory payment by each East Keswick player to the home team for providing a tea (whether you want one or not) : £2.50
Registration Fee: £20 (All players)
This can either be paid as a one off payment of £20, OR as many players choose to do by providing a tea (ie. sandwiches and snacks) for just ONE home game during the season. Exceptions will be made for people playing a limited number of games.

Email Subscription
Im not sure when the last reminder came out but some maybe unaware that there is an email subscription service available. Once subscribed all updates to this website will be automatically emailed to you, this would include team selections etc.
Also, I have recently found that my email address has had issues with the email subscription service and have had to resubscribe. Older users may not know that they have the same problem and may wish to do the same..
If you scroll down the webpage, you will see a "Click here to subscribe" (just below the twitter feed).
Stay frosty people.

Annual General Meeting
The AGM will be held this Thursday, the 3rd March at 7pm in The Duke public house in East Keswick. All players welcome.
PC Sports Sale
Last season the club was sponsored by PC Sports who are a 20 minute journey outside Leeds city centre. With a good range of cricket equipment they are a good choice for anyone wanting to buy new gear before the start of the season. On Sunday 6th March from 10am - 4pm they have a massive sale on - see below. The club are currently looking at getting some (more) official cricket shirts and caps (i'll post details later in the week), so avoid buying a shirt for the time being if you need a new one and don't already have an official club shirt!
I have plans to go myself on Sunday afternoon so if anyone needs any equipment and wants to come along then drop me an e-mail.
