Sellsy's Monday Supplement (SMS)

Over Stowey are now just a couple of months away from the new cricket season and things are in full swing to get the club ready for the 2013 campaign.

 

First up is a bit of a team building evening, a skittles night on March 16^th, at our favourite haunt, The Cottage Inn. Usual format, a few skittles are knocked over, a few ciders sunk and plenty of food to eat. Somehow golf in the morning sounds a bad idea, especially the 19^th hole!

The next day indoor training starts, now that should be very interesting, especially after what will go on the night before, but we shall see. And after all this team building and practice, the weekend of the 6^th and 7^th April is ground preparation weekend, plus the collection of membership. Somehow me thinks we should collect that at the skittles night when everyone has had a few!

Cricket starts in May, and the Charity / Six-a-side weekend kicks in on the 6^th and 7^th of July. A team from SWP solutions are already shouting about that they will be team to beat. We shall see Arthur and Rabbit!

What other delights does 2013 hold for Over Stowey CC and its members? Well your truly is in the process of designing a new fixture handbook, so watch out for that, it’s costing me a few beers for the guys at work, so I will have my receipts ready to claim back!

And don’t forget in-between Over Stowey and their cricket, Somerset will be playing, in pursuit of their first ever County Championship. With all that is going on at Stowey I may struggle to get to the County Ground (not!).  

Anyway, enough from me, 7.27 and time for a Thatchers!
