Thursday’s deluge put paid to any hopes of the 1st XI staring the season today aginst Valley End, but the Development XI match against Ashtead scheduled for tomorrow, (Sunday 15th), is currently ON; the match to be played on the artificial wicket to protect the square.
Three very good reasons to think about surfing the net…

Dear Member,
I am delighted to confirm the appointment of Tim Handel as our senior coach for the 2012 season. Tim’s main areas of responsibility will be
Organising and running the senior nets on Thursday evenings
Running the first eleven training drills on match days
We finished pre-season indoor nets at Downsend yesterday, so thoughts now move to training outdoors.
Senior Nets this year will be on Thursday evenings, and even though a number of people have exams and other commitments, there is an open ‘Nets & Social’ this Thursday, (5th) – the clubhouse will be open from 6pm.
From the dates offerd to them, Weybridge have selected Thursday 10th May1012 as the date for the Surrey Championship T20 First Round match.
Please give your availability to Jack and Ralphie as soon as you can.
Dear Members!
As you may well know, our first application to extend our clubhouse was rejected by the local planning officer. The residents of Clock Cottages employed a planning consultant to make a case against our proposal and this won the day.
Our new plan was submitted yesterday. It has been modified to take account of the original objections, (eg. roof height and parking spaces), and we now need as many of you as possible to go online to register your support for the scheme.
People may or may not be aware that the Met Police are not playing in the Championship this year as their resource needs to be devoted to the Summer Olympics and other events in/around the capital.
The League have decided that it would be equally unfair to relegate them so clubs due to play them faced a reduced number of league games and a couple of bye weeks. This had implications for the 2nd XI, and the 2s now have an even shorter league programme following the folding of Carshalton CC.
Life Membership for Mike Baker and some minor changes at the top.
Sunday’s AGM was well attended as always – pleasingly a larger than normal number of playing members were there. President Phil Jansen oversaw proceedings; Chairman Drew Patrick and Treasurer Mike Furze reviewed matters on & off the field, and Andy Page outlined the revised clubhouse development plans. Our brilliant Club Secretary Jo Patrick was on hand to open up the bar and take minutes.
