Awards Night Friday 17th October
Now that the summer tournament is well underway, we’re looking ahead to the Annual Awards Night which will again be held at Boldon Cricket Club. Winners and runners up will be presented with their trophies, there will be a photographic review of the year, and an excellent buffet. Put the date in your diary now!

Raffle prizes

I know we keep mentioning this, but by the time we attend the Awards Night, our new courts 1, 2 and 3 will be laid and paid for. This means that our coffers will be almost empty and we will have to build up our financial resources again. The Summer Raffle is one of our biggest fundraisers, with some fabulous prizes and will be drawn at the Awards Night. Tickets will be available very soon and we hope you will buy some yourselves and sell some to friends and family.

First prize is £50 cash and in the past we have had other fabulous prizes like meal vouchers for local restaurants, a meat voucher and hampers (both pamper and boozy). If you can donate anything for our fantastic draw, it will be very gratefully received and will keep our costs down. Even a bottle of wine can be added to others to make a great hamper. Please let us know if you have something to donate and we will arrange collection. Thank you in advance.

In addition the league have decided to try to ease the problems clubs are having with fixture congestion by implementing changes for 2026. These are also listed in the attachment. PLEASE READ THE DOCUMENT IF YOU ARE IN ANY WAY INVOLVED WITH LEAGUE MATCHES.
