FLADBURY CRICKET CLUB
A rain affected weekend saw Sunday’s match against Harvington washed out completely without a ball being bowled.
On Saturday a weakened and depleted home side went down to Rowington in a rain affected match of reduced overs. Having been sent in to bat, Fladbury were bowled out for 137 with James Turner once again top scoring with 54. Following an interruption for rain, Rowington were set a revised target of 104 from 30 overs which they reached comfortably for the loss of just 3 wickets.
Sadly, Fladbury were only able to field 9 players for this game and a couple of those were carrying injuries. Under such circumstances there can be little confidence in the team achieving any degree of success. I would like to appeal once again for anyone who would like to play cricket to please make themselves known.
Next weekend sees the League team make the trip to Leek Wooton on Saturday (10 July) while Sunday’s (11 July) game is at home to Blakedown starting at 2pm.
Monday 12 July sees our annual fixture take place at Fladbury against FAS (father & sons) Ramblers – those of the stripy blazers and caps. This match also has a start time of 2pm.

BARRIER – RECREATION GROUND
To improve security and safety at the Recreation Ground, we will be installing a permanent, height restriction barrier at the Recreation Ground. This will be set a number of metres in from the entrance to allow vehicles over two metres in height to pull off the road while the barrier is unlocked. This will be much safer than waiting on the road as at present. The barrier should be in place in a couple of weeks.

ADJUSTMENT to KIT
· Some of you will have realised that when something doesn’t sell or something is still needed, I re-advertise under Ongoing – actually I have just crossed out the wheelchair and the composter because they have been claimed!
· However, there is lots of information that is always ongoing so I have now listed that under “Fladbury Village Information” at the very end of KIT – perhaps useful to hold on to,
· If you want a more easily printable copy of KIT for giving to people who don’t have computers, please let me know. I will try and create a shorter version to reduce paper and ink usage – green and helpful hint from Sally Hutchinson – thank you! And we won’t need to print off Fladbury Village Information every week.
AND WANTED PLEASE…..
the names and contact details of local electricians, plumbers, gas servicing engineers, painters, decorators, carpenters, joiners, etc, etc, for the local information list – we do miss the Five Alive ads! Please let me, Jane, know – email pjbugg@btinternet.com or phone 860531
And KIT welcomes news and information, personal announcements, things for sale or to give away, etc, etc…..
