18th May 2012

A reminder that another dodgy weather forecast aside, our match against Bucklebury this Sunday will be at Yattendon. The start time has also now been changed to 2.30 pm.

 

11th May 2012

Although the weather today is sunny and pleasantly warm (and most importantly, dry), the deluge which occurred yesterday and earlier in the week has already done the damage, and this Sunday’s match at home to Bradfield has been called off.

In the event that the wettest drought on record should abate in the next week or so, our first game of the season will be away to Bucklebury (at Yattendon’s ground) on Sunday 20th May.

 

5th May 2012

It’s the first weekend in May, which can mean only one thing - the Cricket Season has arrived and our first match has been cancelled, as Britain continues to shiver it’s way through the wettest drought on record.

 

One other item of fixture news - because Bradfield’s new pavilion is not quite yet ready for use, the game a week tomorrow against Bradfield has now become a home fixture and will take place (drought permitting) at Wasing Park, while finishing touches are put to Bradfield’s new pavilion.

 

Finally I have noticed a weird glitch in the website where the 2012 Fixtures page changes back to the 2011 page after a few seconds.  I have absolutely no idea why, but hopefully I’ll have it sorted out this weekend.

 

21st April 2012

There have been a couple of changes to our fixture list for then upcoming 2012 season. The Village Day will now take place on Saturday 28th July, and we will now be playing a Sinton XI on Sunday 15th July.

 

1st April 2012

Good news everybody!  Our season starts in precisely five weeks, and after several months of total inactivity, the website is finally showing signs of life.  

Our 2012 season kicks off at Ramsdell on 6th May, the game starting at 2.00 pm.  

Among the familiar opposition we have a new opponent this year, Woodcote will be visiting Wasing Park on 3rd June.

Following the success of last year’s games against the Wasing Farmers we have a Village Day scheduled for the middle of July, more details to follow.

A full fixture list for 2012 can be found on the Fixtures & Results page.

A few notes from the club’s AGM, which was held during the website’s extended period of inactivity:

• David Bardwell was re-elected as Chairman, Mike Palfrey was appointed Vice Chairman.
• Jerry Dobson has replaced Sandra Woodley as Fixture Secretary and Doug Braine as Club Secretary.
• Ben Hardy has replaced Christine Braine as Treasurer.
• Mike Palfrey was re-appointed as Captain, Garry Masters was re-appointed as Vice Chairman.
• Huw Thomas and Les Woodley stood down from the General Committee.
• Ann Woodley was elected an Honorary Life Vice President.
• Match fees for the coming season will remain at £9 for adults and £4 for juniors.

The search for snippets of the club’s history is still on-going, and a recent trip to the Berkshire Records Office to look at a manuscript book they have in their possession proved very interesting - especially as it ended on a cliff-hanger!  I will be uploading some photos and notes from what I found out very soon.

Complete 2011 Averages will also be posted soon.
