Hope this mail finds you all well.
As mentioned in my last few emails, this year's Chairman's Game is dedicated to our teammate and friend Tony Deacon. Andy Chrysanthou is skippering a guest XI with many familiar faces and I sincerely look forward to welcoming all to the club.
The adult game starts at 12.30pm and at tea (approx 3.30-4pm), there will be a Junior game. Mrs Chairman and I will be doing teas, so the pressure is on!
Tony's family wanted the club to raise money for Cancer Research in his name. Please support the cause by either joining us on the day (there will be collecting pots doing the rounds) or donate at a Just Giving Page that I have set up. Please visit and donate even if you did not know or play with Tony, all money raised will help with the fight against cancer.....

Alternatively there is a new Text Message service that you can use to donate. Text the code 'DEAC99' and then '£5' (or the amount you want to donate) to 70070.
The Chairman's Game is an important date in our club calendar, but even more so this year, I urge you to pop up, donate a few pounds to Cancer Research, buy a couple of beers from behind the bar, enjoy a family day of cricket and toast Tony + the club.....
Look forward to seeing as many people as possible on Sunday.
Many thanks and with very best wishes
James
