Two notices regarding the use of the facilities:

1.  Road Safety – Please drive slowly and carefully on the narrow roads linking the A329 and The Green.  In addition to our young cricketers, there are a number of children who live in the houses along this road.  Please reduce the risk of any accident.

2.  Glasses - Please take any glasses back to the Six Bells.  This is an often an unwanted task completed by the coaches at the end of long training session.  Please show your consideration and set an example to our young players.

Live Weather Watch updates are now available on Twitter. Follow us at:

The weather has been rather wet recently and the heavy showers are set to continue.  We will use the ‘Weatherwatch’ window and Homepage of the Junior Webpage to let you know whether training will take place.

As well as using the routine forecasts, the Club consult the Met Office at RAF Benson where more precise details of the passage of poor weather can be predicted.  Although that is not always correct either!

The Club will produce a final answer by 1730 but will try to inform of an early cancellation beforehand.  While some training can be conducted in damp weather, safety issues and potential damage to the playing surface become factors in our decision-making. 

Hopefully, we will provide as many cricketing opportunities as possible during the season.

Training Timings

The timings of the training sessions will take place at the same time as last year.  Even with possible cancellations due to poor weather, we are still planning to run a minimum of 12 sessions. The full details for the dates and times are shown below:

U15, U13, U9 and U7 Fridays 6-8pm (finishing earlier for the U7)
Commencing on Friday 20 April

U11 Saturdays 10-12am
Commencing on Saturday 21 April

If there are any prospective new members, please contact the Membership Secretary, Andy Pugh: andy.pugh@wandscc.org

Fees

There is no plan to raise the subscription rate this year. We will also continue to offer reduced fees for those of you with more than one child attending. Full details are included on the Registration Form which can be obtained from Andy Pugh.

Assisting the Club

We are building a core of helpers but we need more volunteers who would be prepared to assist our Coaches and Managers so that they can focus on specific tasks relating to the team. So please step forward and offer your help.

Enjoy the season.
