With the new season just days away I'd like to remind members of the selection process, for the benefit of our new members in particular.To summarise, the onus is on YOU the members to let your availability be known to the captains by the Wednesday before the weekend of games. You can do this at the game the preceding weekend, at training on Tuesday or Wednesday nights or by email/phone.

• 1st Team Captain: Mark Tandy, mark.tandy@..., 07949 839727
• 2nd Team Captain: Chris Cundell, orbinthesky@..., 07934 557569
• 3rd Team Captain: Simon Wood, simon.wood@..., 07802 536226

Selection decisions are made by the team captains, with the 1st team captain having first pick, then 2nd team captain with the remainder being selected in the 3rd team. Its not always as black and white as the best players being in the 1st team and so on as compromises are made to make sure we get balanced sides out each weekend that can compete with the standard of opposition on the day. New players can expect to begin in the 3rd team and then work their way up depending on how they perform and availability on the day.

So to start the process off this season, can everyone please let the captains know their availability for the any games this weekend that they wish to be considered for selection. We have a 2nd XI home game on Saturday, a home friendly vs Little Paxton on Sunday and a home 20:20 game on Bank Holiday Monday starting at 5pm.

Should the roads be passable tomorrow night, we will be running a double
training session for adults at Fenners as there aren't enough Colts to make use
of the earlier slot. From 7 - 8.30pm our coaching team will be running some
one-to-one coaching and/or bowling machine sessions, with the 8.30 - 10pm slot
running as usual. Cost is just £3 per person and its a great opportunity to
improve a specific batting or bowling skill that you might have struggled with
last season.

In case you missed it last night, the minutes from last nights AGM are on
the website.

http://www.cambournecc.com/node/1631

I've also managed to get this summers' adult league fixtures onto the event
calendar.

http://www.cambournecc.com/event

1. Introduction and Apologies (DW)
2. Club Overview (DW)
3. Strategy and Objectives for 2009 (DW)
   
4. Colts (CT)
5. Training Plans and Senior Team Objectives (MC/MT/CC)
6. Welfare Overview (EG)
7. Sponsorship and Awards (SS)
8. Communication and Events (SC)
9. Election Results (SC)
10. Questions to the Committee (DW)
    

Please note that indoor nets are still ongoing at Fenners; 7pm - 8.30pm for U15s
and 8.30pm - 10pm for adults. Attendance has been pretty good but would be great
to see a few more faces. As an added incentive, it has been agreed by the
committee that from this week onwards, the cost of nets be reduced to £3 per
person, which is great value. Being a World Class training facility, it costs
much more than we can make at this price but the rest of the money will be
covered by grants that have been awarded to the club for this purpose.

More details on nets including directions can be found at
http://www.cambournecc.com/node/1559

Also, a reminder that the AGM is on this Sunday at 7pm at the Pavilion. We will
make it as short as possible (around an hour) and we are hoping to arrange a
social event at Chutney Joes afterwards. Details to follow.

Dan asked me to send this on to the club.....


Dear Members

After much deliberation, Charlie Stephenson has decided to pursue his
cricketing development and coaching role away from Cambourne Cricket Club.

During his time both he and the coaching team at Cambourne guided our club
to achieving Clubmark status in record time. This, coupled with the gaining
of additional ECB and lottery funding has provided both coaching and
equipment for all the club to enjoy.

Charlie was also instrumental in preparing our Annual Development Plan.
This recently received approval from our county board allowing us to build
on firm foundations as we prepare for another exciting season ahead.

Please join me in wishing Charlie all the very best for his future
cricketing career.

Regards

Danny J White
Chairman, Cambourne Cricket Club

Mark has printed the flyers, I've got the maps, so all we need now is some
people! Just bring yourself to the pavilion at 11am tomorrow (bicycles may
be an advantage) and we will allocate zones to everyone to distribute the
flyers. If we get enough people then we should be done within an hour so
please make the effort to turn up and lend a hand if you possibly can.

The flyer design and text can be seen on the website

http://www.cambournecc.com/node/1565

Look forward to seeing you tomorrow....

Stuart

Hi

As preparation for 2009 gets into full swing, I would like to organise a
recruitment drive so that our 1st and 2nd teams can push on for further
success and to make the 3rd team a feasible proposition. We also hoping to
increase membership of our colts section, including the encouragement of
parents to get more involved with the club.

As part of this drive Mark is designing and printing some flyers which we
need distributing around Cambourne so I am asking for volunteers to help
with this by meeting up at the pavilion at 11am this Saturday morning (24th
January) and deliver flyers in an individually assigned area of Cambourne.
The more people we get, the easier it will be for everyone as each zone
will be smaller, so please try and make the effort to turn up and help if
you can.

If you know anyone that might be interested in playing cricket this summer
then please do encourage them to get involved by bringing them along to a
net session or any other event such as the AGM on 1st February.

Regards

Stuart

Voting has now begun for the 2009 Committee elections. You can vote by email (as an attachment), by post or at the AGM using the official voting form on the website. Results will be announced at the end of the AGM (Sunday 1st February at 7pm at the pavilion). Any problems downloading or viewing the forms please contact me directly.

To be eligible to vote you need to be 16 or over on 1st February 2009 and a member of Cambourne Cricket Club in 2008 or 2009.

A summary of this years applicants are below:

Just a reminder that the deadline for committee nominations is this Sunday
so make sure you get yours in if you haven't already. There are still a
number of key positions without any applicants so I encourage everyone not
currently on the committee to step up to the challenge and support the club
by doing your bit and ensuring the club can continue its remarkable
progress in 2009. In return you will get the opportunity to have an input
in the direction the club is going and be part of something exciting that
has great prospects for the future. Different roles require varying levels
of commitment and responsibility and there are positions still vacant that
can fit in with your job and personal lifestyle. Speak to myself or any
other committee member for further details.

See http://www.cambournecc.com/node/1530 for more detailed information
about the committee roles available.

Stuart

CCA League Fixtures 2009

The CCA League fixtures for 2009 have now been entered on the www.
play-
cricket.com website and all Clubs will be able to find their fixtures
on their homepage.

Once again with so many teams in each division it is increasingly
difficult to accomodate each Club's individual requirements when it
comes to keeping certain dates free. We have however done our best
with
these dates.

All Clubs are asked to check their fixtures (as we have been known to
make the odd mistake), especially making sure that your teams are not
double booked on the same ground.

I would like to thank Keith Coburn for all of his help with preparing
these fixtures, which as you will see run from 2nd May 2009 to 5th
September 2009.

If your Club need to change any of the fixtures, please contact me
directly by email to check the availability of a fixture change.

Many thanks and good luck fore 2009 season.
