Newsletter No.3 2009

This weeks newsletter is now available from newsletter section of this site.

Match Duration
Although the duration of a game is flexible and dependent on the conditions around 6pm, teams should try to agree to play 16 overs games wherever possible. Given a prompt start and the length of nights, games should be completed by 8.30pm - well within any bad light issues. If teams can not agree the number of overs then the home team have the final say.

Arranging Fixtures; Postponements
Despite some improvement to the weather (?!) some games have not taken place owing to poor communications. All games must be confirmed, even when the home night is a fixed one. It is most important that voice to voice contact is achieved and the fixtures are confirmed by the
Monday preceding the week of the scheduled fixture. Leaving a message by voicemail or email is OK so long as the receiver returns the message to confirm acceptance. Postponements should strictly only be because of an unfit ground.

Fines Summary
Non-attendance at the April Meeting: now £10 fines owed by GEM, East Sleekburn.Conceding Cup games: £5: CCC, East Sleekburn and Merz & McLellan. Conceding a League fixture: £5 Adders.

NB! All fees & fines are subject to an increase of £5 for each month they are not paid.

Scorecards
Please note that the correct way to fill in scorecards is to keep the batting and bowling for the winning innings (not team!) on the left side of the card and the losing innings details on the right side. Full names please. The scorecard signed by both teams must either be posted or scanned in and sent via email. Prompt reporting of results via the website is appreciated but this information must be supported by a signed card.

The Chronicle
Look out for articles reporting these results in the Grass Roots section of the Chronicle on a Wednesday night.
