BREAKING NEWS!!!
27-06-10 - CAMDEN FAMILY FUN DAY
Today was the 3rd Annual Family Fun Day at Trinity Old Field. Its was a fantastic day for it and club members, colts and their
families turned up in their hoards with 6/7 a side games turning into 12/13 players a side.
Despite stopping briefly for a rubbish game of football the short format tournament was excellently contested between parents
and their respective children with the odd scattering of Camden club members. It was the Buccaneers team that triumphed but as was
quoted throughout the day, 'cricket was the winner!'
Other notables throughout the day include the very good Raha curry, a raffle that seem to be won by the same three people (thanks
for putting some prizes back Benito!) and a well visited Bar run by Groundsman Darren.
The usual list of thanks to everyone that made the day possible. David Mitchell for his sound system and usual array of (in)appropriate
music, Martin Baker for sorting the money (and hand made raffle tickets), Alex Raha for buying then cooking the BBQ/Curry food
(plus other helpers), Groundsman Darren for the use of his ground and TV for the footy, Margaret Batley for arranging all the colts, salads
, desserts, cooking and tidying up, Ali Khan for sorting the ground and the bouncy castle. Plus anyone that i've forgotten such as parents
who helped on the day and captains of teams for giving everyone a go.
Special thanks to Alimentum restaurant for donating a £50 voucher (snapped up by Mr Davda) for a raffle prize, they come highly recommended and if you'd like
to know more visit them here www.restaurantalimentum.co.uk/
Also Cricket Stick, a very good cricket shop in Burwell. They very kindly donated 4x £10 vouchers for a raffle prize
and the colts players of the year prizes. More on them can be found here http://cricket-stick.co.uk/zencart/
Finally, if your still reading, the colts players of the year were awarded. See the colts mini-site for more details.

are with John and Lisa.

The 3rd Annual Camden CC Family Fun Day was held at Emmanuel College Sports ground on the 12th July.
Camden's Blue Riband event gave Juniors from the age of 9 the chance to play with the first XI opening bowler. A moment proved none more so then when the U12s Most Improved player of the year, Sam Walsh, strode out to to bat with Camdens First XI captain Alex Mutucumarana...and lasted long than him at the crease! A bumper BBQ, busy bouncy castle and a well supported raffle made it a very successful day for the club. Our thanks to everyone who attended and supported the club, especially those who brought puddings, salads and raffle prizes. |
