We have been in contact a number of times with South North Cricket Club with regards to booking their hall for our nets and we are still waiting for confirmation from them on dates/times and availability, will keep you all informed we hope to have details of the booked dates for our AGM on 27th January.

Dear members we have just been informed that the Northumberland Cricket League will be moving their January Quarterly meeting from 21st January to the 26th January.

This will make it tight for ourselves as we have our AGM on 27th January.

Dear members we have just been informed that the Northumberland Cricket League will be holding their January Quarterly meeting on 21st January, as we receive our cup fixtures at this meeting it makes sense for us to hold our AGM on 27th January the meeting will start at 7:00pm, this will give us enough time to drop the cup fixtures into our club fixture sheet.

Please make every effort to attend and vote for your club officials, captains and any other business on the agenda.

We are looking to have our AGM on either 13th or 20th January; this will be held at 7pm in our tea room. The club Secretary will be in contact to confirm the actual date. It is very important that club member’s attend and have their say in how your club is run.

The club committee would like to wish all of our club members, sponsors, umpires and league officials a very happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

It is a time of year when we should reflect and try to remember our former members who are no longer with us and those who are less fortunate then ourselves.

Dear members why not come along and have a beer at the Rugby Club on Sunday 21st December and watch the match, start time is 1:30pm doors open from 12:00, pass the word around the more the merrier bring some friends, neighbours, work colleagues etc.

It is another way to support our club by drinking in the bar.

It might be our last chance before Santa comes.

We have installed a new television in our tea room along with an aerial and booster, please note this has been removed for safety during the off season. We have also upgraded our kitchen with a new high level breakfast bar type shelf to hold our new kitchen equipment such as Oven and Hob. We are currently looking to buy a new large microwave.

Tea mugs are also on the shopping list as the mug fairy seems to be taking ours, we are down to only 22 from the 40 we originally bought a few years ago. (Should we buy a set with our logo on?)

We have fully serviced our roller and are working on our cutters.

On Sunday 14th December we aerated our cricket square, which will help with oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange to support strong root growth, which will promote strong grasses and help with irrigation and hopefully prevent fungal attack. (In a nutshell make it look and play better)

At Newcastle Falcons Ground with Matthew Hoggard as guest speaker we had a good meal, drink and overall great night 19 members filled 2 tables, they witnessed our club collect 3 awards;

Midweek Champions collected by Cory Milburn (Capt)

Midweek R.E. Wood Shield Champions collected by Lewis Tanney (Vice Capt)

Premier League Ground of the Year collected by Paul Milburn (Chairman & Grounds man)
