Handbook amendments

Dear Captains / Secretary

Please note that the Handbook was not updated with the new Arthingworth Captain

It should read
Wendy Hayward

I have noticed that Shire Press did not typeset in the telephone number for the Treasurer.
Please add to your handbooks Rosemary Clegg's home number

Plus they typed in Jan Lally's correct email address on first page of Handbook but in the club directory they missed out the second 'l' in Jan's surname.

Linzi's address

Please amend these with immediate effect

Many thanks
Louise Wiltshire

FIRST POST NEWSLETTER APRIL 2009

The Rounders Season is almost here and I hope you’ve been out there training. Lets hope the sun shines on us this year and that we have good weather.

The HANDBOOKS should be with you shortly as will the new Score sheets. Don’t forget to check when and where you’re umpiring and most of all remember that you may be umpiring “Cup Matches” too. Some of these are during the first week (week commencing Mon 11th May).

RULES
Most of you are aware of the new Rules but just to remind you they are as follows:-

1. The Half Rounder Rule will continue in all games.

2. There will be 2 innings of “30 Good Balls” in each game and there does not have to be a change of Bowler in League matches.

UMPIRING

When umpiring please make sure that Players Player goes on the side of the sheet that their batting name appears.
The new Score sheets will include the number of balls at the bottom of the sheet. It is a good idea to mark them off by starting at 30.

SOCIAL EVENTS

Just to let you know that Jan Lally (our Chairperson) has invited any teams back to The Nelson after their matches and that she will prepare them “CHIPS” for £2.50 per team. Can’t be bad!!!!!!

QUIZ NIGHT

Kara Badger is hosting a Quiz Night on Wed 27th May at The Nelson. Teams will consist of “4 players” and it will cost £2.50 each including food. It is also requested that each team bring a raffle prize as a raffle will be held on the night. All friends are welcome. Put this date in your diary and if interested please contact Kara.

PRESENTATION NIGHT

This might seem a long way off but tickets are already printed and this year it will be held at The Rugby Club on 30th October. Don’t be put off by last year as this one’s going to be “Good!” It will be a Halloween Night so lets all dress up and spook each other out.

Pitches
A Discussion took place regarding the pitches at Northampton Rd. Jan explained that she had meetings with the Council and that although they had suggested some teams play at Little Bowden Rec The Committee had decided that we all stick together and continue to play at Northampton Rd. (United we Stand divided we fall). Members present agreed with this strategy. Jan explained that we are still in negotiation with the Council over this and that this years fixtures will be difficult to put together but that the Committee will do their best. It was brought up about the holes in some of the pitches and the disturbance that other sports users caused. Jan said that following the meeting with the Council they had said that they would cap the “goalpost holes” during the summer months.
New Teams
Linzi Selby asked if new teams could get sponsorship from the League. Jan replied that the Committee would always look it at, and that they would support them where necessary.
CLIC Tournament
A letter from Caroline & Eva was read out thanking the League for the donation to CLIC. Caroline said that next year they might introduce a “Mixed Tournament” or hold the event in April as a lead up to the season.
