Bredon Cricket Club’s Hill Close ground lay under a blanket of sun at the weekend.

Cricketers might well think of this scene as they stand on the boundary under a sweltering August sun next year!

The marquee was in place for a joint 50th celebration the night before. Happy birthday Eamonn, John and Chris.

Bredon Cricket Club’s committee, together with some partners, set down together at the Fox and Hounds in Bredon this week to mark the end of a successful year with a Christmas dinner.

The food and service was excellent, and it was good to be celebrating in the heart of the village.

Best wishes to you all for Christmas and the new year.
