Whats going on in 2009?
Welcome everyone, to the 2009 cricket season. We hope that you have had a
pleasant winter and are ready for some good-quality cricket and lots of
sunshine!?!
There have been a few changes down at Ashley over the winter - we have some
new faces joining us on the committee, and down at the ground we have had
been very busy following several successful grant applications. These
improvements include:
- New kitchen equipment
- Lounge furniture and decoration
- New easy clean hygienic rubber flooring in the dressing room area
- 3 new junior grass wickets have been re-laid
- Improved drainage
For 2009 have again set ourselves some objectives this year in order that
we continue to improve the standards and quality of cricket at Ashley
Cricket Club, and also to build on the enjoyment and development of the 2008
season.
Going forwards, our key objectives for the 2009 cricket season are –
- First and foremost to ensure that all children enjoy an inclusive culture throughout the Ashley junior section.
- Renew our Club Mark accreditation, in association with the Cheshire Cricket Board.
- Ensure that each and every child, who wishes to get involved in cricket, is accommodated, and that they are prepared properly and achieve a standard of cricket suited to their ability and age.
- Continue to provide high-quality coaching for all junior members and that targeted coaching is provided to improve skill levels.
We will hold our Pre-Season meeting on Monday 13th April starting at 7pm where we hope all parents will attend with their children to ensure all documentation giving permissions and essential medical conditions can completed, and to meet the junior cricket team. We will also have a representative from Cooper Sports present with a range of cricket clothing and equipment available at discount. If you can’t make it please contact the CWO Dave Woods and we can arrange for this essential admin task to be completed by post.
Pre-season we will also be hosting a couple of ground work parties to tackle some of the essential jobs to bring the club out of hibernation and spruce up for the coming season. If you feel that you have any skills that may be of use or can simply offer a bit of light labour; with a paint brush, or help to fill a skip or tea making skills then do please get involved as we seek to make Ashley an even better place to play cricket. Good Luck for 2008 - and enjoy yourselves!
