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.

Wriggle Valley Women’s Group
Hello Friends I hope that you all had a peaceful Easter and what lovely weather we had! I have been thinking about when and where we could all have a lovely evening together again and having spoken to many members, we have come up with the idea of having an evening meeting here in our garden at Rimpton Cottage, Chetnole on 20 July. Yes, July! If you are all happy with this idea, please could you bring a plate of food that we can share? I will happily provide all drinks. Last, but not least, please could you come with some ideas for our next programme?
John and I look forward to seeing you here on 20 July at 6.30pm. Until then please take care of yourselves.
