Dear North Enfield,

Another season draws to an end at Strayfield Road.  Congratulations to all associated with the club, but special well done to all those that have played for the 2s and gained promotion and all juniors who have played the first competitive games for NECC is years....

As well as my previous recent mails and various requests, a couple of things from me,

1.  We must now start preparing for next season and we have 101 jobs to do inside and out.  As advertised in the fixture card since the beginning of the season and in my mails recently we have work rota weekends this and next weekend (October 4/5 + 11/12 October).  I ask ALL members and family to please come and do your bit.  Please do not leave it to the same people.  All days start at 10.00, please spend some time at your club, it really is rewarding and imperative.  Thank you!

2.  Dinner + Dance tickets/tables are selling fast.  As you know, this years' date is on Friday 21 November @ 19.30, venue = Crews Hill Golf Club.  Ticket price is £27.50 which I really think is excellent value for good food, a good venue and decent music.  Mrs Chairman (my wife Kathryn) is working with Stu this year and helping organise the event.  Please contact Kathryn on 07815 858931 or email kathrynscott78@gmail.com to confirm interest and book tables.  I look forward to seeing you there.....

3.  As stated before, money is very tight at our cricket club and social events allow us to play cricket, it is that simple.  So all tickets and drinks sold over the bar are the lifeblood of cricket at North Enfield.

With that in mind we must have a New Years Eve party this year and we must all please make every effort to get there.  As previous years, the night will be family friendly and there will be music and food on offer.  Andy MacMurdie is keen to organise the event (any other help welcome) and would like to know now from all members whom is keen to attend and how many tickets do you require?  Please mail andrewmacmurdie@btinternet.com or reply back to me and confirm you are interested.

I know NYE is some time away, but we want to get in your diary now.  Please do not leave supporting the event to someone else, the club needs your support please!!

4.  Now that the season has drawn to an end, please mention our club to friends, family, work colleagues, neighbours etc, we always need new players and faces at North Enfield.  Please pass on my details to anyone who might be interested in joining, or let me know who I can contact.

5.  Finally, congratulations to a long standing club member and umpire at North Enfield, he shows us all that you are never too young for anything and has just launched his underwear collection at M+S!  Dave Gandy, I salute you...... http://www.marksandspencer.com/l/men/david-gandy-for-autograph/david-gandy-for-autograph

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,

I know that lots of people have told Ben Conway of their interest, but VERY FEW PEOPLE HAVE ACTUALLY PAID.  £35 gets you coffee and bacon rolls on arrival, a round of golf and the chance to win some prizes.  To guarantee a place please ensure funds are transferred by Friday 19th September. IF YOU HAVE NOT MADE PAYMENT BY THIS DATE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY! 

Full and finalised details will be sent out prior to the event.

Please transfer your £35 to the following details:

Ben Conway
Acc: 80414050

Dear North Enfield,

Firstly thanks to all attendees for such a brilliant night at the Junior presentation evening on Friday.  It was a really super event, and one that I could not have enjoyed more!  Congratulations to all awardees including coaches and thanks to Phil Jones + all helpers for pulling the whole event together.

As well as my previous recent mails and varoius requests, a couple of things from me,

1.  Mandy MacMurdie is organising another hugely popular Childrens Halloween party at North Enfield Cricket Club this year.  Date = Friday 31st October 2014 17.00 - 20.00ish.  All are encouraged to come in spooky fancy dress and there will be games, cookie decorating, food for the children and lots of music and dancing.

Please either email mandymacmurdie@yahoo.co.uk or call Mandy on 07951 701086.

2.  Money is very tight at our cricket club and social events allow us to play cricket, it is that simple.  So all tickets and drinks sold over the bar are the lifeblood of cricket at North Enfield.

With that in mind we must have a New Years Eve party this year and we must all please make every effort to get there.  As previous years, the night will be family friendly and there will be music and food on offer.  Andy MacMurdie is keen to organise the event (any other help welcome) and would like to know now from all members whom is keen to attend and how many tickets do you require?  Please mail andrewmacmurdie@btinternet.com or reply back to me and confirm you are interested.

Dear North Enfield,

Hope this mail finds everyone well.  

1.  A final reminder that our Junior Presentation Night will be held in the Pavilion this Friday.  The evening will be a celebration of a brilliant junior season and will include games and bingo starting at 18.30.  Snacks, cakes and drink will be on sale all night.  Tickets cost £2.50 for each Junior, all parents and family members = free.  Please buy tickets or raise questions with Phil Jones.  ALL members welcome!

2.  As per my last mail the President's Putter is being held on Sunday 19th October @ Panshangar Golf Course (Welwyn) from 9am.  Ben Conway is coordinating the day and all arrangements.  Please send him money and liaise up to Friday 19th September to guarantee a place.  Full and finalised details will be sent out prior to the event.

3.  After another great season on the pitch for the adult and junior teams our Dinner + Dance it is great evening to reflect and celebrate the summer.  This years' date is on Friday 21 November @ 19.30, venue = Crews Hill Golf Club.  As you know we are ever focused on cost and Crews Hill (well, one of our Junior dads, Tony Hutchinson!) have kindly dropped the room hire fee this year making it a viable option again.  That is reflected in the ticket price being £27.50 which I really think is excellent value for good food, a good venue and decent music.  Mrs Chairman (my wife Kathryn) is working with Stu this year and helping organise the event.  Please contact Kathryn on 07815 858931 or email kathrynscott78@gmail.com to confirm interest and book tables.  I look forward to seeing you there.....

4.  I know some members have had an issue ordering caps from our online shop.  It's a long story but they have had an issue embroidering our badge on the 'Traditional Cap.'  Needlework has never been one of my expert areas, so I don't quite fully understand the issue, but I have agreed to take the Traditional Cap off the shop as we still have the Micomesh Cap to select which is unaffected.  I know a couple of you have been delayed and Kalibazar should by now have written to explain the situation, if not please let me know.  Sorry for the frustration, please let me know generally what people think of the shop, quality and selection....

5.  Finally work rota weekends are 4/5 and 11/12 October.  It is simple, we need your help!  Every hour counts and I urge every member be you male, female, adult or junior to make some time and do your bit, rather than leaving to someone else.  Thank you!

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,
Sorry for the silence of the last month or so, I have had a couple of business trips, extended jury service, family holiday and various jobs issues to contend with, so I have struggled to get a mail out.  I have a few things to update you with but I will do them in bite sized mails.....

1.  Firstly a huge congratulations to our 2nd XI who were mathematically promoted last Saturday with one weekend of fixtures to go!  Mark, Alex and all the players have done brilliantly to up again after promotion last season also.  Division 6 awaits......

2.  You may or may not be aware that the President's Putter is being held on Sunday 19th October @ Panshangar Golf Course (Welwyn) from 9am. It is a chance to socialise, laugh at our questionable golf skills and have the glorious opportunity of being crowned 2014 champion!
