Twenty20 Day02.09.2009
Luckily the sun came out and we had a great afternoon of cricket, two close games, plenty of banter, tunes and food.

The Ian Lewis Invitational XI capped the day with a last over win against the Shipton XI. The PA system seemed to be a success and the BBQ was sold out. Thanks to Hana Barrett for her hard work (can we have some of those cakes for match days please?!) and everyone who attended for making the day a success. Oxford Mail article on Memorial Game

Free Warm Up Kit!07.05.2009
Chris Hayter Transport LTD have kindly sponsored the new warm up kit on offer for this coming season. This offer is open to both Student and Senior members. However, when paying your Adult Subcription fee (£90) you will get a FREE t-shirt and shorts. If you are a student member who pays £35 a year, you can pay an extra £10 on top of your Subscription to take advantage of this subsidised kit offer.

If you have paid your subs already, then please see Ian Lewis to get fitted for your t-shirt and shorts. He will be at the club this Tuesday night and again Friday night at the Junior club night promoting the new kit. He will also be around at the 1st XI games on Saturday and Sunday. If you don't need to try any samples on and know your chest and waist size then just get in touch with him on 07880 681487 - please note, each piece of kit will now been personalised with your squad number, so his advice is to take advantage of him having samples to try on and get your size right as he won't be able to just swap kit if it doesn't fit becuase it will have your squad number on. Only players that are playing league cricket will get a squad number, giving a squad number to the entire junior section would be some what of a headache!
