2008 Season Message
Gentlemen
So, now that the football season is officially OVER, the
new cricket season is fast approaching. Bring it on! Thought
I’d send an email round with a few details so we can
all start thinking about another successful summer in purple
and white. This email therefore outlines:
1. Fixtures
2. Tour
3. Nets
4. Official Cavs Merchandise
Here goes…
1. Fixtures
Respect is due to Brindo, Tooth and assorted other lads
for securing a good selection of fixtures for the summer,
with one or two perhaps to be slotted in. I’ll sort
out an official fixture card soon, but in the meantime please
stick these in your diaries. I’m sure our esteemed
skipper Mr BC Rankin will be contacting you all in due course
to find out about your availability. As many of the Cavs
are proving more fruitful in the bedroom than on the pitch,
there are loads of babies newly arrived (congrats Lloyd
and Snr), due any day (Brindo and Rusty), or coming a few
months down the line (Me, Buzzard, Tooth, Ellis), it’s
really important that we try to maximise our availability
and don’t have any bent last minute drop-outs. We
also need to spread the net a bit further, so do please
sound out any cricketing mates about playing for the Cavs.

2. Tour
Big Up to JB for organising our Canterbury Tour. It’s
going to be quality, I’m sure. Please can you make
sure that you transfer your £60 to the Cavs account
as per his email, pronto. If you’re not going to make
the tour, please just transfer £30 to cover your membership
(which pays for pitches, nets, etc)
3. Nets
A good session last Sunday, and BCR was there with his clipboard
making notes and looking earnest. Next sessions are March
23 (9-10), March 30 (9-10), April 6 (7-8) and April 13 (7-8)
all at Choice Cricket Centre, Flamsteadbury Farm, Redbourn,
AL3 7DJ. Well done BCR for getting these booked (and paying
for them!)
4. Official Cavs Merchandise
I think that most lads are sorted for playing kit, although
if you need some more whites, joupes, shirts etc, let me
know and I’ll put an order in. Assume about £15
for a shirt, £20 for a jumper, £10 for a cap/panama.
We also have a wealth of official après-cricket kit,
for all the family, which you can order from the Cavs Megastore.
It would be great to see us rocking up for fixtures in this
gear (well, maybe not the Stevie G, not even you Firms)
Right, that’s it form me. Allez les Cavs – here’s
to a cracking 2008
FT
