Stradbroke Cricket Club
Winter may be approaching like a juggernaut rolling down a hill, but the long mild spell has at
least allowed the new grass enough time to grow enough to be cut, a metaphor for the seeds
of the next cricket season being germinated during the winter months. Already, a month of
junior indoor training has taken place at Stradbroke High School, a new club sponsor, The Ivy
House, has been found, next seasons fixtures are being formulated. Now we need a Committee! The club needs more volunteers. Particularly help with running one of the junior teams.
Maybe you are unhappy with the way the club is being run? If any of these strikes a chord,
please come along to the Annual General Meeting on Thursday 23rd January 2014 at the Queens Head Inn at
7:30pm. Please show that you care what happens to your village cricket club. If quizzes are your thing, help is at
hand. The Annual Pop Music Quiz is on Saturday 1st February at the Community Centre from 7:30pm. Details will
be posted nearer the time. It is a bit early, but a Happy Christmas to everyone who supports us, & the hope that it
continues in the New Year. Thank you.

Our Annual General Meeting was quite well attended, with members giving their views on
Club matters. All Committee Officers were elected and we are all looking forward to the
2014 season. We would like to thank all the team members in the Saxmundham League and
the Waveney League for their support over the 2013 season. Christmas wishes and a Happy
New Year to all.
