Welcome to Camden Cricket Club

Camden Colts Mini Site


Welcome to the Camden Colts mini-site...its about time the future of Camden Cricket Club had a place of their own, so here it is!
There are some important bits to this, that we suggest you read, but if you think of anything you want to add then tell Michael at training/match days and we'll see about getting it on here. Enjoy!

LATEST ANNOUNCEMENTS & NEWS

Outdoor colts nets have now finished for the season, but there are still some games remaining. See Alex Raha if you are available, would like a game, or are interested in any adult cricket at the weekends. The final games are...
Monday 18th July: Under 14s vs Longstanton (Away, Longstanton Rec ground)
Thursday 21st July : Under 12s vs Chatteris (Home, Luard Road)
Date TBC: Under 14s vs Mildenhall (Home, TBC)

FIELD TRIP...FIELD TRIP...FIELD TRIP! (TBC)

To celebrate the start of the summer holidays (for some of us!), I am currently planning a possible field trip for the colts to watch India vs Northants at The County cricket ground in Northampton. Parents and colts are both most welcome to attend if possible.
1 Day Tickets will cost £15 for adults and £5 for colts (subject to relevant booking fees). Considering this is to watch the world champions, it represents amazing value!
Before I go ahead and place a large ticket order, I wanted to find out how many parents and club members would be willing to attend and help me out, and how many colts would like to come along?
I need a firm commitment by Friday 15th July at 10am (you can email this address, or text message me on 07930928751) if you want to come for sure, so I can go ahead and place an order with Northants cricket.
Parents can reimburse the club once the order is confirmed.
Assuming we go ahead once I sort out welfare, health and safety, I am happy to discuss travel arrangements a bit closer to the time.

2010 NEWS & EVENTS

2010 saw the 3rd annual Camden Family Fun Day, a great day in the sun was hopefully had by all.
Theres too many to thank individually so in general thank you to everyone who helped on the day to make it the great day it was!
The 2010 Camden Colts awards were given out on the day and they are as follows. Congratulations to all 3, they recieved a £10 Cricket Stick voucher and a firm handshake.

Camden has had out biggest year to date. 40+ active colts and 3 teams including the league winning U11s.
Unfortunatley though, as we all know, 2010 saw Margaret Batley stand down as colts co-ordinator. She has the been the major force behind Camden colts thriving for a number of years. A number of contributions from club and parents allowed Camden to buy Mags some crystal and a John Lewis voucher as a thank you for all she has done over the years.
Im sure she knows she'll be missed but she has given us the oppotunity to grow bigger and stronger than ever.

2009 NEWS & EVENTS

Another successful Camden Family Fun Day on Sunday 12th July, our thanks to everyone who helped out on the day and with salads and puddings.
The 2009 Camden Colts awards were given out on the day by our President Kevin O'Grady and they are as follows. The end of another season for Camden Colts, thank you to everyone who has helped out during the year. Team managers Alfie Dixon and Michael Griggs, coaches Will Sutton and Alex Raha, plus anyone else who helped out with the odd session. Wendy Wheatley for sorting out the U12s all year, everyone who transported children, wrote reports for the website and generally helped. Without everyone volunteering everything would be a lot harder so thank you.
Finally thank you to Margaret Batley for being the reason we have a colts section, without her...well i dread to think. Please take the time to thank her if you get the chance....Thanks Mags!


In the early part of 2009 Will Sutton and Michael Griggs took and passed their Level 1 ECB Assistant Coaches courses, aswell as also taking courses in basic First Aid and Safeguarding and Protecting children.
