PRESENTATION EVENING

Saturday 12th January 2008

A successful Presentation Evening was attended by about 30 people on Saturday evening, 12th January. 

A quiz designed by Jean "Magnusson" Remillard was well received, as was bingo with our caller Andy "Legs Eleven" Rose. 

Paul "Tarantino" Vernon's movie of photos of the Final Four, complete with musical backing track (copies available at £2 a piece, e-mail Paul) followed the presentation of a photo of the Bronco Championship team to Richard Roll, the Westmorland park Caretaker / Groundsman, who popped the photo up onto the wall quicker than "Handy Andy"! 

Food was prepared and delivered by our own "Jamie and Nigellas", Rob, Tracey, Janice and Michelle, who also sold tickets for the raffle which saw a dozen prizes picked up by various lucky winners.

Of course the main part of the evening consisted of the presentation of participation certificates to Pony and Bronco players and the Vernon Award was presented to:

Adult 1st Team Adult 2nd Team Pony Team Bronco Team
Phil Matthews Katsunori Yamanouchi Cameron Gittoes Chelsea Avis

Andy reports that, once everything had been totted up we raised well over £100.  Thanks to everyone who attended for their support.
DEVELOPMENT   for 2008 The Club intends to develop its programmes after the success of teeball last year. 

For 2008 we will run teeball for children in years 3 and 4 and a new coach pitch programme for children in years 5 and 6. 

Our Bronco travelling team will continue to develop into a team for predominantly year 7 and 8 children but some year 6 players will also play based on their level of development. 

Our Pony travelling team will be predominantly for players in years 9 and 10. 

Whilst year 11 players are eligible to play Pony we hope to base our "adult" 2nd team on players of this age.
