The facilities at Milton Abbey School have been procured for the Winter/Spring of 2010. Our very own Mr Motivator, Jimmy Green has dusted off the spandex to commence his pre-season Boot Camp which is open for business on Tuesdays up at the school, and will run between the hours of 6.45pm and 8.30pm right up to the end of March (exact date to be confirmed). Please feel free to attend as with previous years, those who have attended have found them most invaluable in terms of both helping to remove the Christmas blubber and getting yourself ready for the new season. It is also great opportunity to catch up on Winter tales and feast on an array of pies in the nets.
Following the nets at Milton Abbey there will be a short break for
those who took part (except Eldine) to recover from burnout and a
chance for those who didn't attend the earlier nets the chance to get
the kit down from the loft or borrow some from Merritt to start their
own campaign at our traditional venue- Blandford Leisure Centre.
The dates for this are to be confirmed and will be in a subsequent
newsletter after the committe have decided on dates and booked them
with the leisure centre.
Saturday 26th February 2010- Bere Regis Sports Club Race
Night, tickets are £3.00 each on first come first served basis.
Tickets available from Mr P Cheeseman by contacting
peter.cheeseman@arvigo.co.uk
Saturday 6th March 2010- BRCC/BRFC/ROGS darts and pool
challenge. This is essentially a close season get together for
the club and it would be excellent if there was a good turnout from
members. Also of course we will be looking to trash the other
sections of the club at pool and darts, divided loyalties
nothwithstanding. The format for the competition is to be
decided, we are aiming for a 7.30pm start.
If there any other ideas for get togethers, events or fund raising
activities please advise.
After forging a successful link between our club and North Perrott
Cricket Club of Somerset during the BRCC 2009 Tour, we have secured a
fixture away to them on Sunday 18th April 2010 to kickstart the playing
side of the season. The club is hoping to organise a bus for the
trip so we can make it a club day out. Details are to be
finalised at the next committee meeting with a further mailshot going
out to provide more details. In the meantime for those who are
interested please confirm your interest by return e-mail. This
will be an excellent day out for the club (even if Carruthers is there)
so lets start praying for some sun.
The BRCC committee are inviting nominations for captains and
vice-captains for selection by the club's management committee.
Applicants for the 2010 season are invited to submit their intent to
stand in writing or by return e-mail no later than 6pm on 22nd February
2010. The posts will then be discussed and filled at the
following committee meeting on 25th February 2010. For written
applications please address these to S. Cheeseman, BRCC Secretary, 4
Elder Road, Bere Regis, Dorset. BH20 7LY.
The Saturday XI will start their campaign at home to Swanage on 1st May
2010 followed by a trip to Blandford II ending their season at home to
Christchurch on 28th August 2010. The rest of the division is
made up as follows: Hamworthy Recreation, Compton House, Branksome,
Wimborne & Colehill II, Dorchester II and Witchampton. So
some old and new grounds to visit. Following a ruling at the
Dorset Cricket League Annual General there will now be a new match ball
for each innings in division two, so something for the skipper to
ponder.
The Saturday XI will start their campaign away Sherborne on 2nd May
2010 followed by Mudeford at home ending their season away to
Gillingham on 29th August 2010. The rest of the division is made
up as follows: Iwerne Minster & Fontmell, Weymouth , Corfe Mullen,
Poole Town II, Broadstone II and Fovant. There are no rule
changes that directly impact this division.
Following the successful campaign in 2009, the Evening League’s
2010 journey began on 21st January 2010 at the League’s Annual
General Meeting where league documents, fixtures, cup draw, rule
changes and committee appointments were made. The first fixture
will be at home to Winfrith on Wednesday 28th April 2010 and the other
teams will be Cattistock, Abbotsbury, Charlton Down, Frampton and
Puddletown Reserves. The club have been drawn in the first round
of the newly named Doug Read Knockout Cup and will visit the winners of
Charlton Down and Churches United who have a preliminary match to
play. In other developments after a vote at the AGM the club will
be hosting the Cup Final on Friday 9th July 2010, indeed a great honour
for the club that will boost our image in Dorset (as well as Evening
League) Cricket.
There has been excellent progress made in the last two years by the
Youth Section and on the back of this success the section are to enter
a team in the Under 12’s South Section of the Dorset Youth
Cricket League. Matches will be played on Tuesday evenings
starting at 6.15pm. This is an excellent venture in which the
club is indebted to the efforts of the youth organisers. If you
know of any young players who are interested in joining the Youth
Section and anyone who would be prepared to help in coaching or
administration, please contact the BRCC Youth Chairman- Mr A Kent at
andy@contact.go-plus.net or 01929 471079.
President’s XI v Chairman’s XI match and
Vice-Presidents’ Barbecue event. There are more details on
these events to be finalised closer to the date, but for now it is
proposed that this will be on Friday 23rd July 2010, once again hoping
for better weather.
B.R.C.C Grand Draw will be taking place alongside the event detailed above
B.R.C.C. Tour, will be on the weekend of 3/4/5/6 September 2010. The location and details are not yet known and will be discussed at the next committee meeting
B.R.C.C. Golf Day date is to be confirmed but will either be on Friday 10th or 17th September, again a further update will confirm this
B.R.C.C. Presentation 2010. There is no firm date or arrangement at present and will be discussed at the next committee meeting. If you have any ideas on format, venue etc. please advise in response to this mail.
B.R.C.C. Fantasy League 2010. Following a record entry last season the F-League Organiser (FLOG) will be looking for expansion in 2010 and will be looking for an opportunity to break the winner’s monopolies of the last two seasons. The rules and entry forms will be circulated in mid-April 2010.
There are plans for the club to introduce a small number of weekend
friendlies to accommodate a Social XI during the season. The
plans are really in their infancy stage at the moment but it is hoped
that it will be a good move to generate interest and expand the
club’s playing base. If you are interested in any aspect of
this initiative please confirm your interest by replying to this mail
or contacting the Club Chairman- Herbie Swann on 07753 820730.
It is our intention to update you on the progress of plans for the new
Bere Regis Sport Clubhouse. Many would have noticed that work has
commenced on the re-roofing of the structure, once this is complete
serious work will begin on the interior with a view to completion of
the first phase of this project some when during the first 3-4 months
of 2010. This is a big and positive step forward for the
club. On a wider note, also you may be aware that a local survey
was carried out by the Sports Club to ascertain the community’s
thoughts and requirements for sporting related activities. The
results have been collated and are being formed into a presentation
that will be circulated and presented to our members and interested
parties. It is an exciting and busy time for the club and I am
sure you will all like to be a part of this going forward.
All the best
