Just a reminder that the club AGM is taking place this Sunday the 21st February 7pm at the pavilion. As usual, the committee will aim to provide a short presentation to the club summarising plans and objectives for the coming season and beyond. In an addition to previous AGMs, the senior awards for the 2009 season will be announced and presented.

Voting has now begun for the 2010 Committee elections. You can vote by email (as an attachment), by post or at the AGM using the official voting form attached to this story. Results will be announced at the end of the AGM (Sunday 21st February at 7pm at the pavilion). Any problems downloading or viewing the forms please contact me directly.

To be eligible to vote you need to be 16 or over on 21st February 2010 and a member of Cambourne Cricket Club in 2009 or 2010.

From February 7th - February 21st 2010 we will be running elections for club committee positions, with final voting and results announced at the AGM on the evening of the 21st February. All club members and prospective club members are invited to nominate themselves to one or more of the following roles if they would like to be included as a candidate in the vote.

CURRENTLY HELD POSITIONS

The CCA have released the 2010 league fixtures on the play cricket site for all three adults sides, with some interesting matches to look forward to this summer.

Cambourne have been handed an extremely tough draw in the Cambridge Evening News 20:20 cup, playing away at last years winners Sawston II. Despite a strong batting display, Cambourne went out in the first round last season having been comfortably beaten by a very strong St Ives team, but they enjoyed the experience and are will be looking to field a stronger XI in 2010. See full the draw by video here.

The summer may be nearly over but the club is already looking forward to another successful season in 2010. Tonight will be the last official outdoor training session but in less than a months time our winter net programme will begin which will keep us in the best possible shape over the close season ready for another drive for promotion next year. As per last winter, the nets will be held at the world class training centre at Fenners (just off Hills Road in Cambridge), which boasts 3 nets and a bowling machine.

Head Coach Mark Tandy has organised a coaching evening next Tuesday the 1st September, 8pm at the pavilion, for all those members who have expressed an interest in becoming a grade 1 or 2 coach. The idea is that Mark can explain what is involved and when the dates are so we can go ahead and book places over the winter months. Anyone interested is welcome and encouraged to attend as the more qualified coaches at the club, the better we will become and it is of course mandatory to have a good ratio of coaches to members to ensure we retain Clubmark status.

Just a quick reminder that tomorrow night (Wednesday 8th July), we will be having our first ever game on the Upper Cambourne pitch. We need you to be at the ground as near to 5.45pm as you can make it so we can get going promptly. Best place to park is probably at the muga just around the corner on Back Lane.

I was slightly bored tonight so I decided to add a Cambourne CC twitter account which will automatically update with news articles as and when they are posted on this website. You also now have the ability to link your own twitter account in this site using "My Account" and from there you can activate a twitter news feed which will list the latest tweets of all other cambourencc.com users. Not only that but you can also now login to the site using your facebook username and password.

I am delighted to announce that the Developers, Ground Contactors and Cambourne Parish Council have given the go ahead for a trial run of the new ground in Upper Cambourne in preparation for a full handover later this month. Therefore on the evenings of Wednesday 8th July and Wednesday 15th July we will be organising inter club 20:20 games on the new pitch as a trial run to ensure that the ground is playable. Although the ground contractors are confident that the pitch will play well, I have guaranteed that the matches will be abandoned if the ground looks to be unsafe in any way. You are all encouraged to give feedback regarding the new pitch to the ground contractors (good or bad) so they can concentrate on areas that need special attention.
