Come and watch England take on Slovakia in their final Group B qualifying match of Euro 2016.
England will qualify with a point and will top their group for certain with victory.
The game kicks off at 8pm and we’ll be showing it on our new wide-screen TV.
Our fully-licensed bar will, of course, be open selling drinks at some of the most competitive prices around, and we’ll even lay on some complimentary slices of pizza! So much more fun that watching at home!
It is shaping up to be a very busy summer at Bredon Cricket Club.
As well as our usual schedule of league senior and junior matches, we have several Sunday friendly matches.
Sunday games are always popular with spectators, and our bar at Hill Close is open whenever we play at home. There is a warm welcome for anyone who wants to come along to spend a relaxing afternoon watching a game.
A couple of derby games have just been added to our Sunday home fixtures. On July 24 we play a team from the Crown Inn at Kemerton, then take on Bredon Star Rugby Club on August 7. Better make sure the bar is well stocked for that one!
Nearer at hand, some of our younger players are taking part in an Under 9s Festival on Sunday (June 19).
There are also some exciting social events planned.
On Saturday, July 2, we have a Charity Race Night. All the fun of the racecourse without leaving the comfort of the clubhouse!
Then on Saturday, July 23, it’s our Eighties and Nineties School Disco Night. Roll back the years, enjoy all those old tunes, and buy selected drinks at 1990s prices.
Other dates for your social diary include our Family Fun Day on Sunday, July 31 (more details soon), and annual club dinner on Saturday, September 24.
As well as all that, we welcome some sides for mid-week games at Hill Close in July.
On Tuesday, July 19, Worcestershire Over 60s will play Gloucestershire Over 60s at our ground (start 1pm), while on Tuesday, July 26, we will put out a team against Stanton-by-Dale (start 2pm).
Oh, and don’t forget we now have a wide-screen TV in our clubhouse. It’s a terrific place to watch the Euro 2016 football (we’re open Thursday and Friday evenings, Saturday afternoons, and most Sunday afternoons throughout the summer).
It’s the turn of some of Bredon Cricket Club’s youngest players to demonstrate how much they’ve learned about the game in a short space of time.
We are hosting an Under 9s cricket festival for six teams on Sunday, June 19, 2016.
It happens to be Father’s Day, so bring your dad along to the festival. It’ll be an ideal treat!
Parents, other juniors, club members and guests are also invited to what is sure to be a wonderful family day out. The cricket at Hill Close gets under way at 1.30pm.
Our fully licensed clubhouse bar will be open, and there will be a barbecue.
Tea, coffee and cakes will be on sale too.
We also have a terrific competition lined up.
See how many times you can hit the wicket with six balls. The top bowler wins tickets to watch the Worcestershire versus Northamptonshire one-day match at New Road on July 27.
Engineering support firm boss Craig Peterson has presented Bredon Cricket Club with £500 to buy gear for its junior cricketers.
Club chairman Neil Hall said he was delighted by Mr Peterson’s generosity.
He said: “We have a thriving junior cricket section at Bredon, and it is wonderful for our children to receive support like this from local businesses.
“The money will certainly help our young players develop their game.”
Mr Peterson is managing director of Future Advanced Manufacture, which is based at Staverton Technology Park, Gloucestershire.
The company supports the world’s best engineers and designers, turning their ideas, concepts and designs into prototypes and getting them ready for production.
