Stag Night @ Chipstead Golf Club (click link for pictures)

Bank Holiday Monday 31st May

On MONDAY 31 May a Chipstead & Coulsdon CC XI captained by Geoff Evans will play an Old Walcountians XI captained by Richard Sherwin. No disrespect to the Captains but there will be a lot of 'old' or 'older' past and present Members reliving their youth!! The occasion is designed to celebrate the opening of the new Pavilion and commence our Anniversary celebrations.

Saturday 10^th July Summer Ball @ High Road

SATURDAY 10 July is the date for our Summer Party. We have organised a Marquee to be erected alongside the Pavilion where a quality buffet supplied by Blends Catering will be available followed by entertainment from a terrific band, OXB. It promises to be a tremendous evening.

Reservations can be made either via GP (gplater@bibbyfinancialservices.com) or mobile 07767 436339 or Danny Elsey (Danny.Elsey@Moneycorp.com) or 07545 427144.

Tickets are £35 per head or £100 Family ticket ( 2 adults plus 2 u18's)

It would be very useful, where possible, to coordinate tables of 10 so that one person per table will book, collect money and liaise with GP or Danny. Our aim is to sell a min of 20 tables.

Tour to Spain

One item I would like some feedback on is the proposed Cricket Tour to Spain. No doubt many of you know Geoff Evans who now resides in Spain and is able and willing to organise such a Tour. If we do proceed we are considering playing fixtures on Sat , Sun , Tues and Wed with a 'rest' day ( perhaps golf? ) on the Monday. What I need is feedback on timing and indeed the concept of an Overseas Tour. We are either considering Spain during 2 week in October 2010 or over half term ,which is likely to be end October. The half term slot would give an opportunity to families to consider joining the Tour. Undoubtedly flights in particular will be more expensive over half term.

At this stage The Committee need guidance from the Membership on preferences, even if you prefer us to consider a 2/3 day Tour end August/early Sept in UK. Please e-mail @ ianchilds@ryman.co.uk with your views.
