Barnards Green Cricket Club
recently celebrated 75 years of providing cricket to everyone. "The Green" could not
have achieved the recognition they have as one of the premiere clubs in the Midlands area
without the tireless efforts of a string of volunteers who remain largely anonymous. Every club
needs members who quietly get on with the job of making sure that when the players turn up
on Saturday afternoon they don't have to worry about the little details that make playing at The
Green a pleasure. The Green recognise the efforts of those people who "quietly get
on with it". You know who you are. Thanks to you all.

you can be sure that at least one member of the acclaimed beat combo, "The Beauchamp Road Set"
will be performing live on the night. Places for the event are obviously strictly limited and therefore
you will need to obtain your tickets as soon as they go on sale. Watch this space for more information.

A picture of a local celebrity.
Just as Abbey Road in London became famous as a breeding ground for talent in the 60's / 70's
so Beauchamp Road in Malvern is having the same effect currently.
With artists such as the "Jack Snatchers", "Porky and the Turtles", "Sincerely Someone Else's",
"Turdbag" and The Chocolate Dustbin" lined up, (yet to be confirmed), for the 5th February event

Cricket Section AGM
At the recent AGM held at Northend Lane members present discussed and decided upon a number of important
issues. Tim Williams was re-appointed as the first team captain for what promises to be a testing first season
in the Birmingham League and we wish him every success as he takes the club forward.
Robbie Lewis, having served the section for many years in his position as Treasurer, received unanimous thanks
and praise as he handed over the reigns to Kevin Golder. Changes to subscriptions and match fees were discussed
at length and modest increases announced. Those present all agreed that if you want the best facilities then you need
to pay for them.

Andre's debut for the Windies. You can listen to the full interview here.
