World Vintage Cricket Carnival 2010

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:46:27 +0000

An Invitation:

The 5^th World Vintage Cricket Carnival for players over the age of 35 of whatever skills, experience, age or agility is taking place in Cape Town between 21 and 27 March, 2010.

Teams and players are coming from Australia, New Zealand, England, Ireland, India, Barbados, USA, Canada and Bermuda and of course our hosts, South Africa.

We are looking for more players and teams or part teams to take part as we have more host teams than visitors. There are plenty of Cape Town clubs lining up to host visitors and to ensure they enjoy a fabulous South African experience.

If you, members of your club or team wish to be a part of a celebration of cricket played in the spirit and manner that it should be please get in touch with us. We can find you a friendly team for you.

Contact: peter@vintagecricket.com and we will make sure that you have as good a time as we intend to have. Brothers Sports in Cape Town have set up some great packages for us for the week with prices for share twin accommodation in excellent hotels ranging from ZAR9,100 (that’s GBP720) for the following:

Scoring Exam

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:38:18 +0000

As some of you know, a few years ago I started the training to complete the Association of Cricket Umpires & Scorers official scoring course. I got as far as the final stage and just had the exam to sit when ACUS was disbanded and reorganised so that it no longer represented Scottish members. I got in touch with Mac Wylie who’d sent round a circular to Scottish ACUS members asking their thoughts on their way forward and at that time (over a year ago now) I expressed an interest in whatever they might be doing for scorers.

I heard nothing beyond an acknowledgement until a few weeks ago when I got an email from Ken Nisbet. It looks like they would be interested in setting up a course in Scotland under the auspices of ICC, but are short of numbers. So far, there are just two of us and they need a minimum of six and I volunteered to put out a few feelers to see if anybody else in the North East might be interested. Do any of you know of anybody else who might be interested? It’s a one day course including an exam, accredited under ECB ACO, details can be found at www.icc-europe.org.

Please email me on isobelj.reid@virgin.net if you can think of any other “volunteers”.

Thanks & regards

Isobel
