FLADBURY WILL (Re)CONNECT !
A meeting of the planning group, chaired by Steve Curtis, with Caroline Curtis, Dan Barker & John Powell, Jenny Curtis, Sarah Dangerfield, Mike & Ceirwen Neilan, Martin & Jean Ounsted and me, taking notes, took place yesterday evening, with apologies from Kathleen Bentley, John Bolt, Christine & Graham Farrell, Sue Hildesley and Peter Wagner, whose views were taken into account. It was agreed that it is highly likely the lifting of most restrictions on 19 July will not be postponed and that we will go ahead as soon as possible with our thanksgiving for the end of lockdown, re-connecting with each other in the community and welcoming newcomers. A new date is planned – Saturday 7 August and Sunday 8 August. Some people will be on holiday, the School will be closed, some events will be changed and there will be a re-think if infection rates soar but we are hopeful we will be able to (Re)Connect! Please discuss this with friends and neighbours, give any comments or suggestions to Steve or anyone mentioned above – Steve’s mobile phone number is 07887 953909 or email steve.curtis@AvonReflections.co.uk – and look out for more detailed information in a future email.

FLADBURY CRICKET CLUB
Arriving at the half way point of the season provided a boost and a change of fortunes for Fladbury’s cricketers. On Saturday a fine bowling and fielding performance, including a devastating spell of 4 wickets for only 8 runs by Dave Harris from his allotted 9 overs, managed to restrict Alcester& Ragley to a total of 103 for 8 from their 40 overs. It took Fladbury just 24 overs to reach the target, James Turner once again top scoring by some distance with a splendid 76 not out.
On Sunday Fladbury proved too strong for Romsley& Hunnington The home side, batting first, amassed a huge total of 330 for 6 wickets, including a century for James Turner, a half century for Ryan Dixon and a fine 86 not out from Brent McOmish. The visitors were then dismissed for 129 with Joe Essex finishing with best figures of 3 for 18.
This weekend sees the visit of Rowington CC for Saturday’s (3 July) Cotswold Hills League fixture starting at 1.30pm and on Sunday (4 July) we welcome neighbours Harvington for a 40-over game starting at 2pm.
