Seaham Harbour Cricket Club

Cricket Players needed for 2007 now!

2006-08-26T18:54:00.000+00:00

Seaham Harbour Cricket Club are already looking for new players for the 2007 season. The last few games this season have shown that despite improving the 1st XI sqaud by adding some good players to last years side in Paras Dogra, Simon Brown and Gavin Keen the club are still short of 1st XI players when work commitments, holidays and injuries kick in.

The 2nd XI have had a difficult season and had to play too many juniors too early and although the club are thankful for their support we need to recruit more senior or older junior players to play 2nd team cricket. This will hopefully make the 2nd XI more competitive and help younger juniors with their cricket development by playing them at an appropriate level for their ability.

While captains have not been selected for the next season (will be selected after clubs AGM) many in the club hope that current captains Martin Gill and Ian Dawson will be in charge of the 1st XI and 2nd XI respectively.

There have been discussions in committee about whether or not the club should have a 3rd XI next season due to a number of reasons and the committee would like to hear from those players who would be interested in playing 3rd XI cricket next year to help with the decision. Although no decision will be made befoere the clubs AGM (or after if it is not tabled as a item on the agenda).

The club would also be interested in junior players joining the club at U9, U11, U13, U15 and U18 level.

Any players who would like to play cricket at Seaham Harbour Cricket Club in 2007 are urged to contact secretary Ray Armbrister on 0191 5346492 for details of Winter coaching for senior and junior players.

The club intends to enter a junior and senior side in this years Winter Tournament to be held at Durham CCC

C-2-C Sponsored Bike Ride : El-Shaddai Street Child Rescue

2006-07-25T23:03:00.000+00:00

Would you please read this email below from David JB Thompson. The Club feel this is a worthwhile charity and interesting location because our club professional Paras Dogra got his maiden 1st class century in Goa. Should you wish to sponsor David you can either speak to him directly or perhaps leave your details behind the bar with a member of the committee. Any donation will be appreciated.

"A holiday abroad is sometimes a way of realising how fortunate we are. Although some may complain about our lot in life, we are quite well off when compared with others.

"On a recent holiday to Goa, India, the contrasts between the standards of living were starkly demonstrated. The gulf between the rich and poor is immense. Multi-millionaires living in close proximity to families who reside in tents beside the road-side, with their worldly possessions kept in bags.

"Before we left Goa, Regan and I donated some clothing and toiletries and medication for the benefit of a childrens' charity called El-Shaddai Street Child Rescue. The purpose of El-Shaddai includes the following, :- The provision of safe night shelters and day care units for "street children", ie. homeless children; To provide the best possible medical facilities to those in need, together with providing health and hygiene education and information about family planning; To provide education in basic reading and writing; and To work towards the ending child labour.

"You may want to have a look at their web-site, although obviously not on your work computer! Their e-mail address is : www.childrescue.net

"In order to raise some money for El-Shaddai, I thought it would be a good idea to do this by doing the "coast to coast" bike ride from Whitehaven in Cumbria to Hartlepool in the Tees Valley : start next to the Irish Sea and end next to the North Sea. A distance of just under 150 miles in three days!

"I am going to do the bike ride on Saturday, 16th September, 2006 to the 18th September, 2006, with overnight stays at Keswick and Alston. I dare say there may be one, or two beers en route!

"Joining me on the ride will be, :- Regan's Dad; Steven "Barry" Forster - Farringdon Comprehensive School's very own "School Sportsperson of the Year 1991"; and Bob Rayner - Bob will be using a bicycle to complete the ride, as opposed to his faithful childhood tricycle which was recently revealed for the purposes of Comic Relief.

"I will be circulating a Sponsorship Form to colleagues in City Solicitor, plus colleagues in Support Services and the General Office. I would be grateful if you could please sponsor me to do the C-2-C bike ride. Any amount, however small, would be very much appreciated.

"Donations will be collected upon successful completion of the bike ride."

Players Needed for 2006!

2006-05-03T14:51:00.000+00:00

With the season only one game old it is obvious that we are going to struggle to field two sides on a Saturday due to the lack of players available on a regular basis.

The committee fully appreciates the commitments of players outside of cricket and thanks them for the time they can give to the club but in our quest to field two sides on a Saturday and different players (than those that play weekend cricket) for 3rd team cricket, we would welcome new players to the club.

If you are interested in playing 1st/2nd or 3rd team cricket at Seaham Harbour Cricket Club please contact Martin Gill at the Club on 0191 5812707 or Ray Armbrister on 0191 5346492.

Lottery 2009

2006-02-14T18:14:00.000+00:00

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has launched a public consultation seeking views on the allocation of lottery funding to good causes beyond 2009.

It is important that individuals and organisations involved in sport respond to this consultation, so that the Department is made fully aware of the importance of the national lottery to sport, and of the impact it has made both at community and elite level.

We would encourage you to respond to the consultation, and also to promote it where possible. One means to do this would be to create a link to the consultation (http://www.lottery2009.culture.gov.uk/) on your own website.
