The start of the 2003
was a new beginning for WECC, with new and enthusiastic members
joining the ranks and having a good time with some good cricket. 2004 promises to build on that
with gusto. Over the winter months a local company was contracted to
attend to the pitch, de-weeded and rolled into fitness, just what some of the player
who will be collapsing on it will probably need! It certainly looks
better than it did even before the start of last season. Fixtures
are very nearly there. Charing Cross return after gamely leaving last
year's date free for our pitch opening day. Shamley Green return, they
were definitely up for it. As ever,
we will have a few dates that defy all attempts to fill them. August
22nd used to be Bisley until their surprise folding a few years back,
and the venerable Chertsey Rec. is another surprise victim to club
cricket's changing circumstances.
Free fixtures
will be flagged up with the legend "C.C.C."
in the fixture list to the right. If you are a cricket team of no
fixed abode on that date, please feel free to
drop us a line.
The
AGM has been and gone - you can read the
summary here - and the long-awaited 2003 Annual
Awards Dinner, held over from last year due to organisational
difficulties, has been confirmed at the Red Lion in Horsell on April
18th, meet at 7.30 for beer before sitting down at 8.00pm. It will be an ideal occasion to get everyone together
before the start of this 2004 season with awards a-plenty of a serious
and not-so-serious nature!. Also in June is the Tour,
probably to (groan) Cornwall again where everyone WILL have a
wonderful time whether they like it or not, by order of the hotel
manager who's promised to buy drinks for everyone - everyone else,
that is.
We
hope to build the new colts section into a fully-fledged playing team.
Essentially, we have the resources to run just the one team at the
moment so we would prefer to recruit youngsters in the 14-16 age
bracket. The enthusiasm is there, but our own nets on the recreation
ground would be an extra shot in the arm to not only the senior
members (God help us, we need it!) but younger members also.
Pre-season winter nets have received a setback in that virtually every
place we tried to book lanes in has been full to capacity, and then
some. We may have to wait until nearly the season start at this rate!
Watch this space. Email us at westendcc@yahoo.com
for more details of almost anything, except current affairs, we don't
do well on that one. Subscriptions for 2004 are to remain the same,
but with net fees of £6. TO BE
CONTINUED . . . . .
The
Committee.
