Family fun day is sizzling success

The sun shone and the barbie sizzled while visitors to Bredon Cricket Club lapped up a fabulous family fun day at the weekend.

A large number turned out to the new-format season curtain-raiser, which replaced the traditional cheese-and-wine evening for the first time this year.

Members and guests were treated to live music from the Kings of the Hill while they enjoyed the spring sunshine and glorious setting of our ground at Hill Close.

The barbecue and ice creams sold out, and there were some concerned faces at the bar as the drinks were downed at a ferocious rate, threatening to leave the cellar empty!

Children enjoyed a bouncy castle and playing on the club’s tenderly cared-for outfield.

Club chairman Neil Hall said he was delighted by the turnout.

“We thought we’d try something different this year, and it has been amazing.

“Along with the tower run (May 27) and Bredon Hill Bash (weekends in August) it is going to become one of our key regular events of the year.”

 

Plans for end-of-season celebrations at Bredon Cricket Club

It has been a good season so far for Bredon Cricket Club, and we have plans to round it off in style.

On Saturday, September 16, there will be a senior players’ award night in the clubhouse.

The bar will be open and there will be a curry buffet.

The evening, which starts after the day’s match finishes, is a chance to recognise and celebrate both individual and team successes.

Then, on Sunday, September 24, we are having a family end-of-season fun day with barbecue, entertainment and activities for children.

Again, the bar will be open, and the fun starts at 2pm.

Both promise to be fantastic occasions. Please make a note in your diary.

Fun day fun: Bredon’s young cricketers celebrated a year of achievement

Bredon Cricket Club celebrated the achievements of its young players with a fun day at Hill Close.

There was a Kwik Cricket match for the under 9s and a club match for under 11s, 12s and 13s.

Families turned out in numbers, despite the overcast weather.

The clubhouse bar was busy, and there were eager queues for hot dogs and burgers at the barbecue. Tea, coffee and cakes were also on sale.

It was the culmination of a terrific season for the club’s junior cricketers. All have made fabulous progress this year. The Under 9s won a festival at Dumbleton while the Over 12s reached the Cotswold League Shield final.

Well done to all the youngsters and their parents/carers.

Our fun day on Sunday, September 4, will be a chance to say well done to our young players

With the end of the season approaching, Bredon Cricket Club is organising a fun day to thank all our young players (and their parents/carers) for their superb efforts this summer.

It will be held on Sunday, September 4, at Hill Close and the format will be as follows:

From 12.30pm: Kwik Cricket match for all under 9s (children who were in school years three and four). We will set up on the junior square and play a pairs match of 8/10/12 per side (the same format as our competition earlier in the season).

From 1pm: Barbecue with a free hot dog or burger for all junior club members.

From 2pm: Club match for all under 11s, under 12s and under 13s players. We are likely to play pairs of 10-a-side, but may need to play 12-a-side depending on the turnout.

The clubhouse bar will be open all afternoon during the fun day, and there will be a cash barbecue for all non-players.

All under 7s junior members are welcome to come along for a free hot dog and to play mini-cricket matches.

For parents/carers it will be an opportunity to relax, enjoy a drink in beautiful surroundings and swap summer holiday stories!

Family fun day cancelled

Sad news. Our family fun day for Sunday, July 31, is cancelled. Picture: Feans

Sorry, folks, but our family fun day scheduled for Sunday, July 31, has been cancelled.

Our busy social programme for the season has made it impossible for the club to handle this event.

We will try to organise it for a later date if possible.

Hope no one is too disappointed.
