We have been given some tickets from the Rugby Club at no cost to us, they are £1 a ticket with some great prizes, first prize is £10,000 with a total of 38 prizes, for every £1 sold the Cricket club gets 45 pence.

Your chairman has the tickets we are looking at each member taking £5's worth and selling them before the end of February. The chairman is looking to give the books out at the nets on Monday 6th February. If you cannot be bothered to sell them on just buy them yourselves, remember we as a club will make money from this to support our running costs.

Yes it is that time of year again to dust down the gear and test those muscles, our first net is on at Hirst High School on Monday 6th February starting at 8pm till 9.30pm. Remember to bring your subs.

Our changing room has seen a few welcomed improvements recently, complete upgrade of the showers and toilets, which was badly needed. We are proud of what our changing rooms look like now and this was all down to working along side the rugby club in chasing grants and other funding streams. Yes it is a lot of work but look at the outcome.  

We held our AGM on 17th January in our tea room, with over 70% of our members in attendance. A great deal of discussion took place on various topics all of which are aimed at improving and developing our club.

The Senior Committee were all re-elected and are committed to work/support our club through the coming season.

Our Team Officials for the 2012 season are;

1st Team Capt Dean Greaves, V-Capt Michael Adamson

2nd Team Capt Ian Fox, V-Capt David Wanless (Jnr)

Midweek Team Capt Lewis Tanney, V-Capt Scott Maddison. 

During the festivities we should remember those who are no longer with us and those who are less fortunate than ourselves, then and only then do we realise how lucky we are!

On behalf of the members of Ashington Rugby Cricket Club we would like to wish everyone a merry Christmas and a healthy and happy New Year. 

Once again we have secured a deal with our current sponsor K Plastics to continue for the 2012 season, many thanks to Chris for his ongoing support. 

We have once again secured the High School for our cricket nets it will be the same as last year on a Monday Night with a 8.00 start and a 9.30 finish.

Our first net will be the 6/2/2012 and our last net will be the 9/4/2012.

Our club is looking to bolster its playing membership for the 2012 season, we need to bring in new younger members so they can replace some of our older generation.

Our club has 3 teams which can accommodate the additional members, this is a call to our current members who need to be aware of anyone who may be intrested in playing, all they need to do is pass their names and contact numbers onto any of our committee members and we can take it from there.

We all need to be mindful of the good name we have and we need to look to members who will keep up this tradition.
