? Happy New Year everyone! ? I hope you all had a great Christmas and thought you might appreciate a quick update:
? Junior Nets start Friday 10th January at Ashlawn School, Rugby. Sessions will run every Friday for 10 weeks (break over Feb half term). Juniors will be split into two groups:
• Session 1: 6–7pm
• Session 2: 7–8pm
Invites to sign up on Pitchero will follow shortly.
? Senior Nets start Friday 7th February 2025 until 11th April at Rugby School Collingwood Centre from 7:00–8:30pm. Please sign up on Pitchero.
? Next year we’re running 2 Under-11 sides, 2 Under-13 sides, 1 Under-15 team, and 3 Girls’ teams (U11 hardball/softball and U15 hardball). That’s two more junior sides than last year!
? To help juniors transition to senior cricket, Gavin Hanna will lead a Saturday 4th team. If you’re keen to get involved, let us know!
? Club Matters: At the AGM on 15th November, officers for 2025 were elected, and the committee met just before Christmas.
? Our new Treasurer, Nikesh Mistry, has analyzed our finances. While reserves are healthy, costs have risen significantly. We’ll focus on sponsorships and grants, but unfortunately, bar prices will need to increase slightly.
? Facilities update: the new clubhouse ceiling is in place, and we’re working on additional changing space for the season.
? We’re planning more social events over summer to bring the club together. Mark your calendars for an end-of-season club evening on November 21st at the village hall!
There’s lots more to share, so stay tuned for regular updates and introductions to our key people.
If you have questions or want to get involved, let us know!
Cheers,
Rob
