We are pleased to announce the LAUNCH OF THE NCB CRICKET CAMPS, taking place this summer, during the school holidays. This year the camps will take place at 3 locations and if well supported we will be looking to hold them at other clubs, across the county, in 2012.
The NCB will be providing quality Norfolk County coaches at each camp, which are open to girls and boys, aged 8-15 years and of any ability.
Camps - 1st & 2nd Aug - Sprowston CC 8th & 9th Aug - Bradneham CC 15th & 16th Aug - Great Melton CCThe aim of the NCB Cricket camps is to both increase participation in cricket, hopefully inspiring more youngsters to the game, joining their local club and also to give the more experienced club cricketers access to high level coaches.

This is good news for the club as it will give competitive Saturday cricket for our talented youngsters and those who have nearly past their sell by date.

BLACK SHEEP CRICKET CLUB
Date: April 2010
CHARITY CRICKET CLUB SEEKING NEW MEMBERS
A local Cricket Club which has raised over £70,000 over the last 20 years is seeking new members to ensure it's continuing success.
The Black Sheep Cricket Club, made up mainly of ex senior cricketers in Norfolk, play 5 or 6 games a year mostly on Sundays to raise money for local children's charities but have found it increasingly difficult to field sufficiently competitive sides over the past couple of years.
The Club was formed 20 years ago with founder members including Barry and Ian Battelley, Tracey Moore, Phil Mindham and David Barnard, all ex Norfolk players. From the start all matches were played to raise money for local children's charities and to date over £70,000 has been raised.The Black Sheep have also organised a number of cricket tours, first to Ireland and later to Minorca. The sixth tour to Minorca took place last September.
2010 will see fixtures at Mildenhall, Thetford, Dereham, Gt Witchingham, Happisburgh and Horsford but Club Chairman Chris Gillham said that raising strong enough sides was becoming an issue: " We have a lot of members but many of them are getting a bit beyond their 'sell-by' dates ! We are looking for some more experienced players, perhaps coming to the end of their careers, who enjoy playing cricket in a relaxed setting for a bit of fun but with the knowledge that funds raised go to some really worthwhile causes. With more and more league and cup competitions being played on Sundays,the opportunity to play "friendly" cricket has largely disappeared and we can guarantee a good afternoon's cricket with a bit of fun thrown in as well " .
Prospective players are asked to contact Club Captain Duncan Sears on 01603 700720 or duncan@horsfordcc.com.
Do you as a club, have a free Sunday in your calendar, are able to raise around £250 for a child in need or a local children’s charity? If so why not make it fun day and add a Black Sheep fixture to your calendar. Your bar takings will increase, it will be a fun game of cricket, played the way it used to be played.
Please call me if you think this might be of interest.
Regards
Duncan Sears

Letter to Members 25th March 2010
Dear Member
With the season fast approaching and the weather improving the club would like to update you with progress and outline plans for the coming season.
Firstly and probably most importantly the club has a new website, expertly produced at minimal cost by Profile Websites. Please do visit it at : www.disscricketclub.co.uk and if you have any comments please e-mail Paddy: pjqbr@aol.com or Godfrey: godders.cricket@virgin.net A Website is only as good as the information that goes on to it so contributions/ photographs/ articles of interest to club members would be gratefully received. Whilst on the subject of e-mails we would like to open channels of communication through this method. I have all the present committee members but if you would like to be on e-mail circulation please could you forward it to Godfrey on the e-mail above.We welcome Simon Cooper and Tim Courridge as captains of the 1st and 2nd XI’s respectively, please give them your support.
Junior coaching on Saturday mornings will be starting soon, details will be posted on the website.
The committee have been busy since the AGM, grant applications for a new roller, new site screens and maintenance and security round the clubhouse and ground are all under way.
Match sponsors at £50 a game have been obtained for a number of games so far (see Web for details) If you do know any individual or company who would like to help by sponsoring a match please contact a committee member- we offer an excellent package!
Finally, to get the season under way members are invited to help dust off the cobwebs and prepare the club for the coming season. Please meet at the clubhouse on Saturday April 3rd 10-00am. Regimental Sergeant- Major Moore will be in charge!
Kind Regards,
