 Cricket in the Var
We are now a couple of months away from the start of our 2009 season. In the close season the ‘behind the scenes' team of organisers has been working away, preparing for an exciting season ahead with our sights set on matching and surpassing previous achievements. This is a tall order, given the level of activity and success achieved in 2008, when we won all matches except one, shared the SE League title and won the end-of-season ‘Sevens' tournament. The social side of the Club also flourished with Family Days, Brunches and Barbecues, organised at a number of Friendly fixtures and Seniors matches.
Well, what's in store for the year ahead? The fixture list is already looking good with over 20 matches already arranged - see below. There will be SE League matches, friendlies against many visitors from abroad, a tour to play a week-end's cricket in Paris (6&7 June) as well as the ever-popular, end-of-season the Entrecasteaux Sevens Tournament. Fun family days and Seniors matches are also on the agenda.
The continuing success of the Club depends on its members, whether they are first-team players, occasional players, groundsmen, scorers, umpires, organisers, caterers, fundraisers, supporters or benefactors.
We rely on your membership and look forward to you joining us for the 2009 season. You can go to the ECC website to download a membership form. Please send a completed copy to my home address (on the form), with a cheque made out to Entrecasteaux Cricket Club..
In addition to the work your committee does behind the scenes to make cricket happen at Entrecasteaux, there is also a lot of work that takes place on match days (setting up and dismantling tents, chairs etc and a lot of catering). We much appreciate members, friends lending a hand – not every week, if you can help out on just a few match days during the season, that would be great! Let me know if you wish to be added to our ‘volunteers' list. The indefatigable efforts of our catering and fundraising team continue to make a remarkable contribution to the health of our finances; without their help we could not function in the way we do; so do please come and lend a hand !
The season gets underway on Sunday 5 April with an intra-squad friendly match as well as the club's AGM, make a note in your diary - all-comers are welcome and everyone gets a game.
Looking forward to seeing you all during the season.
