Welcome to Mortimer West End Cricket Club
 

2008is here

Village cricket is alive and kicking at this thriving local club.

With 2 Berkshire League teams (Premier and Division 3) on Saturdays, and a strong Sunday side, there is enthusiastic family support and facilities for children to make the most of their summer weekend afternoons.

The Colts Section (Under 11's, 13's and 15's) get plenty of opportunity to develop their skills with fully qualified ECB coaches.

Our aim is to cater for cricketers of all ages and abilities, and to compliment that with a varied social programme for all

Sunday 25th November , 2007 12 - 4pm.

PAINTBALL
This was suggested by Steve Honour, and I know that a few others have asked about this too. Have investigated a few local companies. I have made a provisional booking at one near Newbury which is called http://www.goballistic.co.uk. This would work out around £20 per person for a 1/2 day including 300 paint balls. Colts are invited but (by law) must be over the age of 12 . Please contact me if you are interested in attending, so I can assess numbers. Need a minimum of 12 people

Friday 30th November - Golf Day.

Golf: Friday 30th November, 2007 10am
This has been kindly organised by Chris Sellers. The venue is Blue Mountain [the same venue as last year). Meet 10 am for coffee and bacon rolls,18 holes of golf and lunch.The price is a little higher than last time at £30.45 per person but still reasonable. Also they are throwing in free prizes for nearest the pin and longest drive plus some free vouchers for rounds of golf. The initial booking is 12, but we can modify that up to the last couple of days. They will require a deposite of £10 pounds per person as soon as we can. Please contact Chris Sellers directly if you are interested Sellers630@aol.com or 0118 983 5844, or let me know and I will pass on the message.

.

Please reply as soon as possible about the above events. The rest of the information below is around planned events for next year.

10 Pin Bowling : Saturday 2nd February 2008 7pm (provisional)
10 pin bowling - open to everyone - adults, colts, parents (instead of doing separate bowling for colts and skittles for adults) Venue likely to be Wokingham , with a curry afterwards for those interested.

Other Events
Details to be provided closer to the time about other events such as the pre-season dinner, which will probably take place in April to coincide with the work party weekend.
Also - it is likely that we will have the ball at the end of the season again, as this seemed to work well for most people. A provisional date of 20th September has been booked.

THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING TOOK PLACE IN THE PAVILION ON SUNDAY EVENING(7th Oct). Thanks to all those who attended. Some lively debate followed annual reports from The Chairman, Treasurer, Fixture Secretary, Social Secretary and the Team Captains. The main changes were: 1.The appointment of a Bar Manager (Marina Shapton), which is now a separate role from the Treasurer, which left a space for a new Secretary, which is yet to be announced.

2. The increase in Annual Subscriptions from £55 to £60 per annum. This was debated and passed by the floor. The main point being that the cost of pre-season nets could be met by all members and not just those who make the effort to attend. Hopefully this will encourage a higher attendance, which can only help the club improve our general performance.

Hopefully the minutes, when available , will be published on the News Page.

Pavilion

MWECC is very proud of it's facilities. The pavilion has been redecorated and refurbished in the close season and provides changing and shower rooms for both home and visiting teams. The comfortably furnished lounge creates a safe play area for children, and refreshments are available from the well equipped bar or kitchen. The kitchen also provides traditional cricket teas, and summer barbeques by prior arrangement. .
