Barnards Green Cricket Club - Colts Section. AGM.
The colts section AGM was held at the club on Sunday 6th November 2011 at 7.15pm.
Those present heard a report from Robin on yet another great season for the green
and the team and age group managers and coaches for the 2012 season were approved.
Minutes from the meeting are available upon request.
4th September - Under 11 final goes down to the wire.
Our under 11s appeared in their final against Kidderminster at Halesowen on Sunday morning.
A great performance by our talented under 11 squad saw the match go down to the last ball with Kidderminster
earning their victory by just 4 runs. A full match report is available here and photos can be seen here.
Many thanks to all of the travelling supporters including the "Green Army" and our three Chairmen
for their ( sometimes rather vocal ) support and encouragement.
Well played everyone.
And - a special message from one of our oldest members to some of our youngest:-
"Well done, you were splendid finalists, Max"
We have a game at the club this coming Friday. Our under 11's have done exceptionally well this season and
have reached the semi finals of the regional phase of their competition. We will play local rivals Rushwick
who we have already beaten twice this season, albeit in very close encounters on both occasions.
I have no doubt this game will be just as close and hopefully we can make it three wins out of three.
on and the bar will of course be open for anyone with a thirst on! It would be great to see you all down there
to give the under 11's support on the night so if you fancy an evenings entertainment come on down and bring
the parents, there will be plenty of room for them to play on the outfield away from the game.

Important Reminder.
The new net facility is already proving popular with everyone.
BGCC is a "members only" club and the nets, are for the use of club members only as are the rest of the club's facilities.
The club stewards and ground staff may challenge anyone at The Green to prove their entitlement to be on the premises
and ALL CLUB MEMBERS should therefore carry their club membership card with them at all times when on the premises.
Remember - the staff do not know all members by sight and for insurance reasons will err on the side of caution!
Colts members have their cards issued by the colts section.
If you cannot find your card then let us know as soon as possible.
