KFCC Kwik Cricket Competition - Friday 18th June
The KFCC Kwik Cricket Competition will take place on Friday 18th June. This competition is aimed at our intermediate / experienced Sunday Colts players (who as a guide would generally fall into the age range of 8-11 years old, although there will be exceptions to this). The details are:-
Start Time: 5.30 Registration, 6pm start
Finish Time: 9.00 to 9.30pm.
Venue: Kelvedon and Feering Cricket Club

As it's our tournament, we are able to enter as many teams as we want, so please let me know by next Monday evening (14th June) whether your children would like to participate. We'll then be able to put the teams together ready for the event.
To be totally upfront with you, this event does clash with a certain England v Algeria World Cup game, which may have an impact on your decision to attend...... however, it's best we point this out now, rather than have lots of last minute drop outs!
Many thanks. Mal Wilde
P.S. Would "Club Coaches" who are able to run a team, please make themselves known......you can watch the football later!?!

CRICKETFORCE UPDATE - or Essex Stonepick - Saturday 27th March
This is just a very brief reminder that the Great Essex Stonepick is on Saturday on our Second Pitch. We are starting at 9.30 and I think that Graham Pryke (the Essex County Cricket Development Officer) should be there to see how we are getting along. The only tools you need are a big screwdriver and a bucket. Pray for rain before Saturday and a fine day on Saturday to make the job easier. I look forward to seeing you there. We are serving lunch at 1.00 (bangers, rolls, salad and soup) and Vic Forshaw might allow us to have a beer to wash away the budget blues!

CRICKETFORCE - Saturday 27th March
Cricketforce this year will take place on Saturday 27th March. The Club intend to organise a giant stone pick on the second pitch from 9.30am - 1.00pm. Please give up whatever time you can to help with this. It will have an enormous difference to the quality of the second pitch outfield during the season. Lunch will be provided at 1.00pm.
Additionally, Jane Groves is currently in the process of conducting the task of sending out all the registration forms to you all. On 27th March between 12 and 2pm, she will be available at the cricket club to accept returned and completed registration forms or alternatively you can post them back to her as normal. PLEASE NOTE THAT IT IS A PRECONDITION OF BEING SELECTED TO PLAY THAT PLAYERS ARE REGISTERED BEFORE THE START OF THE SEASON. This is reflected on the membership forms and is slightly different to previous years for adult players.
Also on this Saturday (27th), we will have a selection of club marchandise including shirts, hoodies etc available to view. Orders for kit can also be taken at this time.
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday 27th.

"First of all let me thank everyone for coming today and supporting the club and enjoying the lunch prepared for us by Anne. Today marks a significant milestone in the history of Kelvedon and Feering Cricket Club. Having moved from a pitch that the club had occupied for many a year off London Road, presumably to make way for the A12 improvements, the club is now enjoying a dual celebration: its silver wedding or in other words 25 years on it’s the site in Rye Mill Lane and the opening of its second pitch located just over the road in the adjacent field..."

New roller
The Club has acquired another Stothert and Pitt roller to do the rolling on the second square and outfield. It was acquired through the good offices of Lawrence Edwards the pitch adviser and comes from a local club whose ground staff are now being treated to the luxury of a reconditioned Autoroll with hydrostatic drive. Our hard-working team will be getting a bit fitter swinging the handle of the old diesel engine on cold Spring mornings but the machine will do a job for us till we can afford a roller with full stereo and central heating (that is a two cylinder engine between the feet!).
Equipment budget / new changing rooms
We are now putting the finishing touches to our equipment budget for next year and we are including an amount for the materials to fit out the new changing rooms and provide cricketing equipment for next year on the new ground. We will be getting the new ground ready to play on, including building the new changing rooms (making benches for people to rest their weary cricket bags on etc) and putting up pegs to hang the umpires on (in their coats).

Gus Hunnybun - hangs his gloves up
Longstanding first team gloveman, Gus Hunnybun, has hung up his league keeping gloves. He will be sadly missed on Saturday cricket but the Club hope to see Gus playing more friendly cricket over the next few years and supporting the Club, as he always has done, with his infectious enthusiasm and determination for many years to come.
A few words from Gus, on his playing days...
"I started my career at King's School Bruton in Somerset, playing for the 1st team with 18 year olds when I was 14. I had 4 seasons and played for Hubbert Doggart's ESCA team (English Schools Cricket Association) and I played in a series of matches at Egars Plough ('The playing fields of Eton'). This series was a selection for the England under 19 tour to India. Unfortunately I was not selected.
I then slipped into local cricket playing for Castle Cary in Somerset.
I dropped out of sport entirely for several years, coming back to play for Bruton and then Beckington.
On moving to this part of the world, I intially played for Colchester, but after a season and a half I moved to Kelvedon, the best move that I ever made.
Kelvedon have made me feel very much part of the club, and I shall always stay with the club, trying to help the younger members and especially the wicket keepers improve.
It is with great sadness that I hang up my gloves for league cricket but look forward to the future."
QUIZ EVENING
Saturday 6 December 2008, 7.30 for 8.00 p.m start at the Cricket Club. Tickets are £7 each which includes a supper of either fish and chips, chicken and chips or sausage and chips. Tickets available from Dawn Peperell.
