Dear Parent/Guardian,
With the new season almost upon us, registration for the Colts’ section will be starting soon.
Firstly, though, some news. Wendy Christodoulou takes over from Geanna Kilpatrick as Welfare Officer. We wish her well in her new role. The club is also building a website at present. The address is:
Please visit the website and have a look. Also feedback at this stage to Jonathan Fraser or myself will be gratefully received. We will look to the website as hub of news, events, fixtures and results during the coming season.
Now on to registration.
REGISTRATION: This will take place on Thursday 24th April from 6.00 until 8.30pm at the cricket club on “The Green”. During this time, there will be an introductory training session for the U11 and U13 colts. This Club Night is an important part of the preparation for the new season, and we ask that everyone try to be there from Under 11s to Under 16s players and parents. The bar will of course be open!
registration/Training fee:
The registration and training fee for this year is as follows:
Under 11s - £50 (subject to matches)
Under 13s - £100.
Under 15s/16s - £100
This fee includes for around 19 Thursday night training sessions for U11/13s and all games where applicable. For the U15/16s this includes for around 18 net sessions. The fee also includes for all games where applicable (except for U16 Match Play fee and teas where appropriate). This, I’m sure you will agree, is tremendous value for money at about £4 per training session/game.
On the night each colt will receive a WGCC Fixture Card. If for any reason you do not receive a card please speak to the Colts Secretary or Sheila Baker. Please note that the wearing of cricket helmets is now compulsory.
NEW JUNIOR MEMBERS: To register your child to play for Woodford Green Cricket Club, please fill in the enclosed form and bring it along on the 24th. Please bring with you a copy of your child’s birth certificate, together with the registration fee.
Existing JUNIOR Members: Please re-register your child on the 24th. We will ask you to check details on your form and make any changes (e.g. phone numbers/email address). Please bring the registration fee.
ADULT/FAMILY MEMBERSHIP: For parents/guardians that have a child/children registered as junior members, you are eligible to apply for family (i.e. non-playing) membership for just £25 (annual sub). There will be a £5 joining fee for new members. The Colts Secretary will be happy to act as proposer and Sheila Baker will second the applications. New applications for membership are warmly welcomed and forms are enclosed, which you may either send to Sheila Baker by post or bring on the 24th.
If you cannot make the 24th for any reason, please phone Ian Kilpatrick on 020 82152598 to organise your child’s registration.
MATCH FEES: Anyone who plays in the U16 Essex Match Play and in any adult games will be required to bring with them a £4 MATCH FEE (correct at time of writing).

SECOND HAND CRICKET CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT: We ask you to bring any grown-out-of cricket whites/pads/etc to the club on Thursdays which we will organise to sell to make a small profit for the club.
