HILLAM AND MONK FRYSTON CRICKET CLUB NEWS The ground is surviving all the high winds, with nets and dug outs staying in place for a change. The old pavilion is dismantled. How many people have had lovely moments and memories from that place? The nice thing is that it is being re-used and the timbers and bricks are coming in useful. The committee has been strengthened with extra committee members. We are also delighted to announce a new President, Dave Page who lives in Hillam and has played for the club previously and at a higher level in the past. A full list of the committee can be seen on the Hillam and Monk Fryston Cricket Club website hmfcc.cricketclubwebsite.co.uk. The new Secretary of the club is Maxene Wells and booking and hiring of the pavilion should be through her. Call her on 01977 681913. The club is still in need of a freezer if anyone is throwing a usable one out. We have already been donated a fridge. We could still use a practical person to help out at the pavilion one to two hours a week in the season, doing maintenance and improving the building. Contact Tonu if your interested on 01977 685227. Junior cricket will start in April – look out for confirmation of day and time. The Matchball sponsorships scheme will run again this year. For £30 donation to the club you get invited to the club for a match, have a cricket tea for two and a free drink. If you wish to do this then contact Julie Sadler on 01977 685795 or sadlers999@tiscali.co.uk and she will make all the arrangements.
