A Sunny Start to the 2022 season
Welcome members
It is wonderful to welcome you to the start of the 2022 season at Escrick, where we hope for continuous sunshine with the sound of bat on willow and the chatter of players and spectators from the boundary ropes.
We have plenty of news to bring you including messages from our Club President - Richard Head and Chairman - John Skinner whose excellent report we have reprinted below.
Messages from the President and Chairman
Richard Head - President
With the new season upon us, winter finally fading away and hopefully with the worst of Covid 19 behind us, we can look forward a full season of cricket. The fixture card will be with you shortly, but in the meantime the full fixture list can be found on the website. Our opening game against Eastrington CC took place last Sunday when the sun shone and the YG's edged to a one wicket win.
The AGM was held at St Margarets School on the 4th April and I am delighted that all the Club officers have volunteered to serve another term. One new member Neil Dale was welcomed to the committee.
Our Chairman John Skinner's excellent review of the year covers the progress of the Club thoughout the past 12 months and outlines our aims for the future to include The ECB All Stars initiative. I will not reiterate all the names mentioned again but would commend you to re-read Johns letter.
I wish you all the best for the season and look forward to meeting as many of you as possible at Escrick.
