East Keswick Caps - Update

All being well I will have 20 of these before the wekeend. Having visited PC Sports I found out that they are baseball style caps, not the traditional baggy ones. They still look very smart and will be green with the East Keswick logo on them. If you have asked for one then please bring £10 to the game on Saturday. If you've ordered several (Matt!) then don't worry about payment until our PR rep arrives from the States!

Change of League Structure

It was announced at the Pre-season All Clubs meeting that, for a three year trial period, starting in 2011 the League's structure will be changed.

There will be two League competitions, one for Senior (first) teams, one for Reserve (second & third) teams.

The Senior Divisions will be named One, Two & Three. The Reserve Divisions will be known as A, B & C.

Within each League competition promotion and relegation will still be on a "two up, two down" basis.

Subs for 2010 Season

The prices this season will be as follows (if I remember correctly!)

Home Games : £5.00 per game. £2.50 students/juniors/unemployed. Tea will be an additional £3.00 per person.

Away Games : £5.00 per game. £2.50 students/juniors/unemployed. New league rules dictate that tea will now be £25 per team, regardless of how many people want one. Therefore all eleven players shall pay £2.30 each.

1st team games may be paid for slightly differently depending upon sponsorship options.

East Keswick Baggy Caps

As part of our sponsorship deal with PC Sports, we are looking at purchasing some additional cricket caps. These will be embroided with the club log/name on them. Hopefully the caps will be green (or maybe blue) with yellow stitching. The cost is expected to be around £10 each, with around £3.50 worth of this being returned to the club funds.

In order to see if there is any demand for additional numbers, can you take part in the poll further down the screen on the right hand side. Any questions then e-mail the club on eastkeswickcc@googlemail.com

Meeting - An Update

The following information was reported during the club meeting on Tuesday evening.

• PC Sports in Yeadon, Leeds have agreed to sponsor the club to the tune of £100 of cricket equipment. Decisions are currently being made about how the club is going to spend this generous donation. In return the club has pledged to support PC Sports by advertising on this website and encouraging its members to visit the shop. If you require any equipment before the season begins then please do so. I bought my bat from there last year and I know a couple of people have already bought equipment for this season, so please continue to support our sponsors!
  
  
  
  
  
  
• East Keswick Plant Centre have generously agreed to brighten up the outside of the clubhouse by supplying some hanging baskets/pot plants (details to be decided by our resident Alan Titchmarsh!). They have also agreed to sponsor at least one Match Day ball to the tune of £20. In return they will have advertisements on the website and at the ground on match day.
  
  
  
• Two food suppliers have also agreed to sponsor the club – Asian Food Store and Khadim Stores. Details of this are to be finalised.
  
  
• Leaflets asking for sponsorship have been designed with a view to distribution round the village. Some have already been left in the Old Star pub.
  
  
• The Parish Council have been approached regarding obtaining a £500 grant. Certain details are required to make sure any application is successful, so these are currently being sorted out.
  
  
• An agreement has been reached regarding the ground being used by the Sunday teams for this season. Details to follow.
  
  
• The club is currently fixing up the second of two new sightscreens for the new season.
