Bledlow Village Cricket Club News story


Chairman's Xmas Update

18 Dec 2020

Dear Club Member,

With the passing of this ‘strange’ year we would like to take this final opportunity to thank everybody who has supported and assisted the Club this summer.  We would not be the Club we are without our volunteers, junior coaches, players and loyal social members.

We were able to play some competitive cricket and we eagerly await the new season and the ‘new normal’! Our plan to improve and strengthen our cricket for next year is taking shape, with the construction of the new Nets base compete. The installation will be completed in the new year, followed hopefully by a ‘grand opening’ in April.

Unfortunately, the differing socialisation regulations have made it impossible for us to open the Club during the last few weeks and this looks likely to continue into the new year. We were disappointed that Bledfest and the usual end of year quizzes and raffles couldn’t happen, but we are grateful for everyone’s continued support of the Century Club which will continue under ‘new management’ in the new year. We hope for a return of these favourites next year.

We still have closed season work parties from time to time and we will always welcome anybody who can help with a variety of jobs around the ground. There always seems to be a lot to do!

Finally, me and my family would like to wish you and your family a great Christmas and look forward to better times in the coming year.

Roger Downes

Chairman
