CLOTHES ETC FOR AFGHAN REFUGEES
Many thanks to all who donated clothes and equipment last weekend for Afghan refugees and helped with sorting and transport. Paul and Alison Jeanes of Lower Moor emailed “We have collected around 7 car loads of clothing, bedding and toiletries from local churches yesterday and today and dropped them off at Teams4u warehouse in Evesham. The Evesham Vale Welcomes Refugees volunteers have been overwhelmed with donations and the warehouse looks a little full!”
SHOEBOX APPEAL
Each year we run a nationwide shoebox appeal to provide Christmas gifts to vulnerable children and families in Eastern Europe with the charity T4U “real people making a real difference”. These are simple gifts given out with ‘No strings attached’ in countries including Romania, Belarus, Bosnia, Moldova and Georgia. Leaflets are available from the back of churches, with instructions on how to cover your boxes and what to put inside. We will set up delivery points in each of the Five Alive villages from which they will be collected during October and November and put into our processing warehouse in Evesham and then on to their destination. Further information can be found at www.teams4u.com and in the October KIT. If you want to know more, please contact us, Paul & Ali Jeanes in Lower Moor – ring 01386 860934, mobiles 0745 0088334 or 07771 897716 or email paul.jeanes@teams4u.com

FLADBURY CRICKET CLUB
The final Cotswold Hills League game last Saturday saw Fladbury lose by 60 runs to fellow strugglers Alcester & Ragley rounding off a very disappointing season. One or two of this year’s new recruits are now though beginning to show some potential with Will Roberts achieving his highest score of the season in that last match.
Sunday’s home fixture was changed at the last minute, as Pebble Mill were unable to field a side, with Eckington stepping in as opponents at short notice. The story was a similar one to the day before with Fladbury, batting second, finishing 54 runs shy of the 186 posted by the visitors. Not quite a half century for Nick Mytton though. Arriving at the final (40th) over of the Fladbury innings, Nick, Fladbury’s top scorer on 49, found himself at the non-striker’s end. On strike Lee Poultney, who had himself reached 20 not out, defended the last 6 balls in text book fashion and with grim determination, to bat out a maiden over and leave his partner, steam clearly visible from the ears, high and dry on 49 not out.
On Saturday 4 September there is an INTER CLUB DAY at Fladbury starting around 1pm. Two teams, made up from Fladbury players and invitees and hopefully fairly equally balanced, will contest a 40 over match. There will be a Barbeque, bouncy castle, raffle and refreshments etc. ALL ARE WELCOME.
Sunday’s game is at Harvington starting at 1.30pm.
As this is the last cricket notice of the year there remains only one further fixture in the season to tell you about which will take place at Fladbury on Sunday 12th September at 1.30pm against Christchurch.
