Dear Cryptic,

It is now 13 days until our first fixture!

We play the Oval Dream Boys on Sunday 26th April at Highgate CC. It is an all day game, starting at 1130am.  Lunch and tea are provided.  Ruairi Willis is the Match Manager (willis.ruairi@googlemail.com or 07500 949426) - I am sure he would be very grateful for anyone contacting him to play.  You can do this by emailing/messaging/calling him direct, or registering your availability on the Club website (see below).

This is a brand new fixture for us, and I am not aware that we have played at Highgate CC before (10-15min walk from Highgate Underground Station on Northern Line). Let’s have a really good show, and get the season off to the great start we want!

We then have a couple of weeks until the second fixture at Cambridge University on Sunday 10th May - Joe Ireland match manages this game (joseph.ireland@westminster.org.uk or 07932 431113).  I am sure that lifts from the London direction can be organised - please do contact him to register interest and discuss.

There has been a bit of a delay with the printing of the fixtures cards… but these should be landing on your doormat (if we have your address)! Please do check/update your profile via the Club website.
