We have placed our order and require members who still owe money to put their hands into their pockets and pay up. Bring the money to our training session on Monday night to Ashington High School.

Umpires sorted for our friendly, thanks to quailfied club members Jim Peacock and Ken Ward who will don their whites for the game. If the weather ever relents so the groundsman can even get on the field to get a game on.

Due to the Newcastle v Sunderland match being moved to the Sunday 14th April we will now play our friendly on Saturday 13th April. Still a 1pm start and a 35 over match. 

We are looking to purchase some additional club clothing for those members who are new to the club, or have grown out of their old clothing. We have a list for the majority of our members however we still need a few to come forward with their items so we can continue with the order.

We do not have much time and we need the outstanding items ASAP please forward your list to the Chairman, along with your payment. 

We have organised for our sight screens metal frame work to be treated and painted week commencing 25th March, the same week our grounds man will take a week off work to spend time on the square and outfield.

We have also purchased some new plastic panels for our sight screen some of the old panels were vandalised near the end of last season.

We are looking for club members to come and work on the 6th April which is the Nat West Cricket Force Day, all those who attend will be given an Nat West Cricket Force T shirt.

Monday 25th February saw our clubs first session which was a 9 a side indoor competition with the old guard playing the young guns. Members seemed to really like it, who would have thought it Bench, Mick Watson, Dave Wanless Snr running quick singles (yes you heard it correct) and all 3 said they enjoyed the work out.

We were really pleased with the turn out hope to see more than 18 at the next session. 

The Rugby club have a Rock Band Night on Saturday 13th April the bands are "Sticky Fingers" and the "Logoz" it is only £3.00 per ticket which is very cheap. First band is on at 8:30pm.

It would be a good way to get together before the season starts and support the Rugby Club who is very supportive to our Cricket Club.

Contact your Chairman and he will get you the tickets, they are selling quick so get in early or miss out.

Culpitts have agreed to sponsor our club for another year following last year’s support, it means a great deal to our club to have local businesses support our club. We have of our 4 members who work for the company and it is a great gesture for Culpitts to support us again. We have offered our facilities to company to use as they see fit for their staff days. We are more than happy to help. 

Thank you Culpitts.
