CLUB NEWS Wriggle Valley Cricket Club If your playing days might just be behind you but you are keen to support your local cricket club, did you know that you can become a WVCC patron? We are delighted to announce our first three Patrons: Gordon Ratcliffe, John and Ruth Sandford. Since the photograph was taken, we are pleased to report that they have been joined by David Russell and Stan Darley. Although becoming a patron does not come with access to the Long Room at Lord’s, you will receive a splendid WVCC cricket cap! There is a donation of £40 per year and the funds raised help towards the essential running costs of the club. If you are interested in becoming a
patron, please contact: anthonygjones@ outlook.com
Get involved, as a player or supporter Although we are fortunate to have Chetnole as our home ground, the WVCC is a cricket club for all the villages in the Wriggle Valley. If you live in Batcombe, Melbury Bubb, Leigh, Hamlet, Hermitage, Hilfield, Ryme Intrinseca, Yetminster, Beer Hackett or Stockwood, or indeed anywhere close by, and are interested in playing or supporting, do get in touch. Come and say hello at one of our preseason informal net practices, usually on a Thursday. Check first when it’s on with Jeff Beaumont, our captain, email: j.beaumont645@btinternet.com.
WVCC Patrons – it’s never too late to receive your first cap!
