BARTON'S EDITED HIGHLIGHTS

Extracts from a circular by Gareth Mellors to Barton CC faithful

The cricket season is almost over and as I write this the 1st team have secured their status in the Lincs Premier Division. This has been a difficult season on the field as the unavailability of players has stretched us to the maximum limit on numerous occasions.
Saturday 19th will be the club's presentation night for both juniors and seniors. The 2nds are at home that day and it would be great to see all players and families stay for a few drinks and some food and congratulate all award winners.
Friday, 2nd October is the night of the Annual Sportsman's dinner. Birchy (Richard Birch) once again has been working his magic and found one of the best speakers and comedians on the circuit. Tickets are cheaper this year than last, and judging by the views of people who have seen Steve Kindon and Billy Bean (speaker and comedian) £30 is an absolute bargain.
Please contact me via email bartontowncc@hotmail.co.uk or call 01469 533396/ 07764 559203 on numbers, or preferably how many tables you want. If you haven't been before you really don't know what you are missing. Don't forget, the more we raise the more money the club gets.

Work will be starting on the square a week on Friday so any available hands will be most welcome. Al (Sanderson) and Teg (Tester) have put an almighty stint in this year with once again the weather causing serious problems to most clubs, apart from ours. This is pure and simply down to two things, Al and Teg. So if anyone has a spare few hours on that day please come down and give them some help.

The new net facility will be in place for next season. The net is being situated in the old car park. We are looking into putting a new car park behind the clubhouse, this will be for home players and spectators. This net is state of the art and is costing around £35,000.00. Well done, Al, once again for all his hard work. With this we can hopefully progress and really be pushing for honours next year.
I have said before, and I will say again, these are really exciting times. The AGM will be held within the next couple of months and the date will be confirmed and you all will be informed. This is your club, so have your say and do your bit. If anyone has any ideas or concerns, contact me via email bartontowncc@hotmail.co.uk or 01469 533396 / 07764 559203.
