EAGCC GreenPiece - EARLY SEASON SPECIAL EDITION!

05 Mar 2020

It's hard to believe but we’re already into March and the cricket season starts in just six weeks’ time!  Your Committee have been busy over the winter and here’s your soggy Wednesday update of what's NEW at The Green …

NEW! Pavilion Diamond Anniversary!  The George Porter Pavilion is sixty years old this summer.  We’re not only looking back but looking forward too, and are committing to a refurbishment project that will make sure it’s fit for the next sixty years.  Watch out for your chance to comment and get involved! 

NEW! Cricket Week!  To celebrate the Diamond Anniversary of the GP Pavilion we’re organising a Cricket Week on Monday 29 June to Sunday 5 July.   This will be BIG so watch out for details! 

NEW! Player Development Programme!   We got off to a slow start last season so are preparing better with coaching at indoor nets, a warm up fixture and mid-week coaching during the season too.   We've dropped the mid-week PieRates fixtures to allow us to focus on player development so please support these initiatives.  

NEW! Kit Supplier!  Joe Young and Ollie Stovell have recommended we switch supplier to Shrey.  There are exciting new kit sponsorship options too - contact El Presidenté if interested.

NEW! Ladies Kit!  Our Women’s Team have raised the money to buy their own kit and will be properly turned out this season.  Well done to Karen and team for their hard work! 

NEW!  Heavier Roller!  Our investment in the equipment we need to make The Green as good or better than our competition continues.  We’re taking delivery shortly of a new roller that’s nearly three times the weight of the old one to ensure the square gets better and better.

NOT-SO- NEW!  Subscriptions Needed!   We’ve got a lot of money going out pre-season so really need subs paying promptly.  Tim Chambers is in charge of this and has better things to do than chase people throughout the season.  Please pay up NOW!
