Glenmore Cricket Club News story


2014 Season is Here! President's Report

25 Apr 2014

It's been a long, cold Winter but the Summer is (apparently) here and the 2014 season is just about to begin. So, I thought I'd take this opportunity to say a few words of thanks, and to talk about the season ahead.

First of all, thank you to all our club members. We are blessed to have a wonderful group of men, women and kids who all make Glenmore CC such a great club. To everyone who has played the indoor games, come along to net practice, attended our social events, replied to emails, paid their fees, etc...we thank you!

I should offer some special thanks to the following people;
To my fellow club executives (BJ, Ken and Chris) for their tireless efforts, help and assistance in keeping the show on the road!
To Hugh Evans, Alex Robertson, Jenna Bart, Matt Honywood and Ryan Jenkinson for helping organise and run our first ever Winter Kids Cricket program.
To Rebecca Ellis for organising our Christmas party and the curling event, and to George Williams and Tony Pasternak for organising our squash tournament.

We owe all these people a huge debt of thanks for their efforts.

Glenmore CC is a quickly growing club, and this Winter we have seen many new members join. I welcome you all, and I hope you will have a long, happy association with the club.

Our aim is to continue to grow, develop and improve as a cricket club, both on and off the field. This summer we have added another senior team to the Weeknight league (Glenmore Royals), will again be running the only under-15s cricket program in the city, we have a fantastic tour to B.C. planned and there are three social events in the works (quiz night, club BBQ and club Golf Day). So, it has all the makings for a fun, successful season.

I hope everyone has an enjoyable summer, and enjoys their cricket. Please take pride in representing Glenmore CC, and play in the right spirit; respecting your teammates, opponents and the game itself. I have attached the club's Code of Conduct, and I would ask that you read it and remember it every time you take the field.

Please help out the team captains by showing up on time, and updating your availability throughout the season.

And please remember to check out the club website regularly for all the latest scorecards, match reports, photos and news. Make it your homepage! Oh, and don't forget to follow us on social media. Last year there were some excellent in-game updates on Twitter which I can strongly recommend!

Here's to a happy, enjoyable season. And let's keep our fingers crossed the weather stays good for the next five months!

Many thanks,
Alex
