Hi all,

Hope everyone has wintered well and with the clocks going forward yesterday, the season is suddenly feeling very much upon us!

Indoor nets have been very well attended this winter and there have been plenty of new faces in attendance which has been great to see. Fixtures start on 12th April with the 1st XI at Yateley and the following day the Sunday 1st XI travel to Hillingdon Manor. Please help out the team captains by completing your availability for the early season. You can do this by logging in to the website and selecting 'availability' from the menu at the top of the screen.

Before matches at the hallowed turf of Ricketts Field can start, we will need to have a working party to get the ground ready as Mr Stringer cannot get everything done on his own! This will take place on Friday 18th April (Good Friday) and we will be meeting at the club at 10am. The more the people there, the quicker we can get everything done so please make every effort to attend and help out the club.

Finally, membership is now due so please pay as soon as you can. Details are below:

Playing Members                               £100
Colts and Students (Playing)              £80
Over 60s Membership (Playing)       £80
Family Membership (Playing)             £150
Non-Playing Members                        £25

After 31st May, the required subscriptions will rise by £10 each. We have done this to try and incentivise earlier payments so that we aren't continuing to chase people well into the cricket season!

The attached membership form includes details of how to pay your subscription and the easiest way these days is by an online transfer. If anyone has any queries about membership, contact Jo Davis at iandavisberries@hotmail.com or speak to one of the team captains. Online bank details are as follows: Santander, Sort Code : 72-00-01, Account Number : 64459405, Account name : Cookham Dean Cricket Club (Please add your name as a reference).

Thanks to those that have already updated their availability and paid their subs and look forward to seeing plenty at the club on the 18th.

Thanks,

Jonathan Gay
Club Captain
