Update - Players & Nets

A quick update regarding a couple of issues:

At the previous AGM it was agreed that unless the club had enough players to more than make up 2 teams that we would only enter one for the 2011 season. There was also some uncertainty regarding Khalid's intentions as he didn't attend the first meeting and had been ill when the second one took place. Since then Khalid has been in touch expressing his desire to play again next season and hopefully bring back the 8 or so players who were committed to playing for the club.

I've also been in the process of trying to attract some new players, and so far four people are due to attend the net practices (see below) starting in January. There is also the possibility of having some junior players from Bardsdey CC turning out for the 2nd XI. Further attempts will be made to find more players in the new year. Currently we have around 33 players, not including any juniors that may come from Bardsey CC but as we all know this doesn't always translate into two teams come the start of the season. A further AGM will be required in the new year to confirm these details and select captains and vice captains.
 

I've also dropped Yorkshire CC an e-mail about booking some nets as they appear to be closed over the Christmas period. I will try and book the first one for Sunday 16th January from 4pm to 6pm.

Team updates for 2011 Season

Bardsey CC have indicated in an e-mail to the club that they were willing to let their junior players play for East Keswick 2nd XI, subject to a few reasonable conditions. The Indian Society at the University of Leeds have also been contacted asking to place an advert for players for the coming season.

Booking of Cricket Nets

It's that time of year where nets will be booked for January to April. Before i book them can everyone let me know their preferred day and time is. I'm looking for Sunday's, but if enough people want another date then i'll book that.

Please let me know asap so we can sort them out for after Christmas.

Fixtures for 2011 Season

The full seasons fixtures for the 2011 season can be seen here

Player Recruitment for 2011

The club is now seeking new players for the 2011 season with a view to maintaining two teams in Division 1 and Division 6. If we cannot find enough players for two teams then it is likely one team will fold.

Please contact the club if you are not currently playing for us but would be interested in joining next season.

Important: Re-scheduled AGM

To James and Lauren, who last night gave birth to a 10lb bouncing baby boy! It's hoped he will be playing for the 2nd team next season - that's the baby, not James.
