Colts Enrolment and Awards Presentation Evening

The Colts Enrolment and Awards Presentation Evening will be at 1900hrs on Friday 24th March in the Clubhouse. Current young players, potential new players and their parents / carers will be welcome to celebrate the 2016 season with the presentation of the team awards to be made by RCC 1st XI Captain, Tom Greaves. If you have any friends, boys or girls, who might be interested, bring them along to the evening. Caps and cricket equipment, including Abdo guards will be on display to order or purchase. If you are selected to play in a match, you are expected to wear full whites and a Reed Cricket Club cap. In addition, you will need your own Abdo guard, clearly named as with any other personal equipment. All players, who do not have their own helmet, are measured at the start of the season, so that you and your manager can ensure that you wear the correct helmet when batting or wicket keeping. Cilla Robertson, RCC Colts Liaison Officer.

A message sent by Andrew Emms on behalf of Santa Claus. Dear Reed CC Members & Friends, Father Christmas has again found the time in his busy schedule to pay a visit to Reed Cricket Club. This year he will be arriving at 1200hrs on Sunday 18th December. All Club members and families will be welcome for what has become a fun social event in the calendar. Father Christmas will be planning to arrive once he is sure that all the children are there. Would Mums and Dads let me know the names and ages of their children, if attending so that FC can select an appropriate pressie which he will be pleased to give them! Also, as you all know, Santa has a very generous circumference, and to keep it that way he asks that as many nibbles, nuts, sausage rolls, mince pies etc., are brought along by us all. We dare not refuse!! Don’t forget, SUNDAY 18TH DECEMBER 12 NOON!!!!!!!!! HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Andrew Emms, President, Reed Cricket Club.

Life Membership for Roger Bowcock

Roger Bowcock was made a Life Member of Reed Cricket Club during the Sixtieth Annual General Meeting last Thursday. Roger joined Reed CC in 1973 and in his 43-year association has worked tirelessly and mostly unnoticed on a variety of projects at the Club. His engineering knowledge has been tapped frequently, and he continues to carry-out many of the manual labouring jobs that need doing. Roger was the king of the late cut back in his playing days which ceased about 15 years ago. He is a familiar figure at Reed and a great supporter of the Club strolling around the boundary on match days. Roger is an astute watcher and the official selectors might be wise to listen to his considered opinions. His is normally the first-shout at the Bar and he is a popular drinking partner. Reed CC has a very select band of Life Members and I am very happy to report that Roger has now joined Howard Marshall, Clive Collins, Rosemary Collins and Keith Collins in that small group. Peter G. Baker. Honorary Secretary, Reed CC November 2016.

Going, Going, Going Gone!!!”

“Once upon a time …..” there was a FUN game called Cricket. It was exported around the world to whichever continents the dastardly British chose to land on and exploit! It was simple and easy to play with basic equipment – a cudgel (or bat) a rolling object (or ball) and some sticks as a target to try and defend. It was a simple game, great fun, and hugely enjoyed by all who chose to play it. I started playing Cricket, taught by my Dad, at around the age of 5, on a coconut matting wicket, based on a concrete slab, surrounded by a dusty grassless outfield within a British RAF base on the island of Cyprus. By 11 I was back in England, now at a boarding school and I started playing competitive Cricket matches for the school age group teams. Free time in summer evenings and weekends could be spent utilising the college’s nets practice areas, and every school break-time there was an old bat and tennis balls, and playground cricket to be enjoyed by anyone (usually 30 or 40!) who joined the throng! One hand one bounce is out, wicket-taker takes over as batsman, etc etc – great fun!! I was never a top grade batsman, and barely a bowler, but I could catch well and I loved my Cricket. By 16 I was playing for the School 2nd Xl on Saturdays and occasionally on Sundays for local area men’s Cricket teams that were “short”. Our resident school Cricket Master frequently got calls from some local adult sides – “have you got any reasonable lads who will help us make up our Sunday Xl”? I often helped out and that was great [...]
