Mail From the Chair - number 70

18/3/2015

Dear North Enfield,

Well the new season is within touching distance. A lot of work happens behind the scenes all winter to keep us going, to do one thing, play cricket. We are almost there but....

In order to play cricket we all (juniors and seniors) need to do our bit and help out for a part of our vital work rota weekends. As per my previous mails the weekends in question are 28/29th March (also Natwest Cricketforce Weekend) and 4/5th April. There will be people at the club from 10.00, not only is it hugely rewarding, but attending is also fun!
As per my last mail, I have set up WhatsApp groups as a way to more easily communicate together. If you don't have it, please splash out 69p, let me know and I'll add you to the lists.
A group of players have been using our super nets when the weather permitts over the last couple of weekends. Any questions, please contact Kieran, Gillers, Mark or Alex.
On the subject of nets I am looking to organise a social event after / before a net session on the 12th April. I have looked at a few options, but I think Clay Pigeon Shooting at the farm behind the club is the best shout. Please reply and let me know if you are interested, options are:
- £30 for x25 shots and clays from x2 stations
- £45 fro x50 shots and clays from x5 stations
- Prices include tea, coffee, biscuits and photos
Nuffield Health at Enfield Grammar School have kindly sponsored our fixture card (thanks to all sponsors for their support!. They currently giving away a free 5 day gym pass (T’s & C’s apply) to all NECC members which will expire on the 31st of May. Please contact Julian Akintokun @nuffieldhealth@enfieldgrammar.com or call 0203745 5055 quoting North Enfield CC.

Finally thanks to those who have already paid membership money, please keep it coming.....

I say it in every mail because it is true; NECC is as much your club as it is mine and all of us on Management. If you have any ideas, suggestions, observations or thoughts about anything re. North Enfield CC then please let me know.

Many thanks for reading my mails and with very best wishes

Dear North Enfield,

This mail signifies the start of our 2015 season; it is membership renewal time! Please find senior and junior letters and forms from Gleno and Ken respectively (in one attachment). Please make every effort to pay up and fill in asap as our club is short of funds at this time of the year.

As suggested at the AGM I have set up WhatsApp distribution lists for Players and Social, one of the Junior team managers will set one up for that section also. I have invited all those with a WhatsApps account to the relevant list/s, if you do not have the app, please can you download it and let me know and I will add you too. We have to / want to improve communication and I believe this app will do that.

I will be back with another mail soon to confirm details of outdoor pre-season nets and a proposed social event to get us all together.......

Dear North Enfield,

I hope this mail finds you all well and now that Spring has officially begun, cricket is very much just around the corner. I have a few things for you…..

I am delighted to officially confirm that we have been successful in obtaining £10,000 of funding from the Big Lottery for much needed internal works in the pavilion. We have another bid in with the ECB/Waitrose for £4,000 of ‘white goods’ submitted. Please keep your fingers crossed! Huge thanks must go to Gleno Halley for all efforts.
Thanks to everyone who attended the AGM. For those of you not there, please find attached my report for the evening which I think is a good summary. For all those that have volunteers for all positions I thank you for making North Enfield the great place it is!
The 2015 Fixture Card is almost complete. If you have a small business or something to advertise, please let me know ASAP and we will try and find you space for a donation to NECC…..
Work Rota dates are 28/29 March and 4/5 April. More details to follow, but we need all help and assistance especially as the end of season rota was so badly attended. Thanks in advance for all support!
We are planning a net and a team building event / social on either the 11 or 12th April. I’m looking into some options, so please look out for my next mail.
Please have a look at our online club shop if you need some new kit. We have added club helmets onto the site and it is well worth a look. Also for every purchase the club gets a percentage of every sale!
One advantage of us now being Middlesex CCC affiliated is that all full members can apply for ‘Affiliated Playing Membership’. It is only £25 and applications need to be in before 30th April. Details can be found athttp://www.middlesexccc.com/membership or make contact with me.

I say it in every mail because it is true; NECC is as much your club as it is mine and all of us on Management. If you have any ideas, suggestions, observations or thoughts about anything re. North Enfield then please let me know.

Many thanks for reading my mails, if you know people that do not, please let me have their address and I will add them to my list.

With very best wishes
James
