President's Message

The 6 Nations tournament is over and the Easter eggs have been eaten so now is the time to turn our thoughts to the 2010 cricket season.

In a few weeks time it will be Sunday 18th April – the Cowbridge Cricket Club “Junior Open Day”. Last year (the first year it was held) was very successful. The sun shone and over 50 boys and girls had a great morning showing how skilful they were with bat and ball. So Mum and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa find a little boy or girl between 7 and 16 years old and bring them along at about 10.30 a.m. that day. You will all enjoy it. 

This time last year we were looking forward to the SWALEC stadium hosting the 1st Ashes Test Match and wondering if Paul Russell (Chairman of Glamorgan County Cricket Club) and his team would be able to successfully stage the event. Well, never fear, what a marvellous success it was and many congratulations to everyone involved. This season the SWALEC stadium will be hosting England, Australia and Pakistan.  A truly international venue. Some of the boys and girls who turn out for our Junior Open Day may be playing there in a few years time. 

Those of you who come to the President’s Luncheons will know that the last 4 years we have been blessed with exceptionally good weather. I have been in touch with those “in the know” and the best day of the year will probably be on Sunday 1st August so make a note of this date. 

PRESIDENT’S LUNCHEON – SUNDAY 1ST AUGUST. 

All members and their guests are most welcome.  Further details will be sent out to all members in due course.

My time as President comes to an end at the next AGM in February 2011 – much to the relief of some of you! I cannot close without saying a big “thank you” for all your support. It is very rewarding to see about 100 members and their guests in the Athletic Club for a lunch or a dinner. Without your support here would not be a quality cricket club in Cowbridge running three sides on a Saturday and three junior sides mid week. Long may it continue.

May the summer be kind to all of us.
