WELCOME TO 2021
THE CLUB WISHES YOU A HAPPIER NEW YEAR!
The Club wishes all Members – Players, Vice Presidents, Supporters and Followers a much HAPPIER NEW YEAR for 2021 than we had last year and says THANK YOU to you all for your continued support of it, especially in these difficult times.
In the unprecedented year that we had to endure last year, lets hope we can return to more normality of previous seasons with more cricket matches played and more use of the Club made.
However, whilst we remain in the highest tiers of restrictions, we can not open the Clubhouse. Yet, as long as the respective rules are followed, you are most welcome to come to the Ground and have a walk around it as part of your daily exercise.
A lot of Ground and surrounds work has and continues to take place by volunteers since the 2020 season ended last September, whilst the Housing Development in the neighbouring fields is continuing at pace. It’s worth popping down to have a look at the changing landscape!
The relevant Cricket Leagues are making plans and options for our various sides (Youth and Seniors) for the 2021 season and we hope that it will start on time.
To the players (and prospective players) any indoor 2021 winter nets are currently on hold, whilst the outdoor nets at the Club remain out of use.
As soon the Club has more information or updates, it will post on here, or on Social Media or via email to Members.
We look forward to seeing you this year at the Club and Ground.
Please continue to support and be part of the Club.
Phoenix 100 Club December draw

And the lucky winners drawn are …………
The second bi-annual Draw of the year was made on 19.12.2020 for the £100, £50 and £30 prizes.
The three lucky people to have their numbers plucked from the barrel were:
£100 – 17 – Hannah Edmunds
£50 – 1 – Angela Ashley (whose birthday it just happened to be, too – HB!)
£30 – 31 – Phil Morris
CONGRATULATIONS TO THEM.
Thanks to all Phoenix 100 Club members for your continued support of it. It does raise vital sums for the Club and there a a few lucky winners.
Since we have been unable to hold our two social events this year with a complimentary drink, for those who renew their subscription in April when the next 100 Club year begins, then those drinks will be rolled over. Hopefully, by then we can hold an event, which means the next one will see Members entitled to three drinks. Fingers crossed, we can.
There are three more £30 Draws due for the months of January, February and March.
In the meantime, stay safe and take care.

Wishing you a MERRY ‘little’ CHRISTMASK !!!
What a year this has been!
A most fitting and relevant article

Lockdown 2
No outdoor nets currently allowed
The ECB have sent out email clarification from Sport England to Clubs regarding any continued usage of their outdoor nets (sent on 13/11).
They cannot take place, until we are told otherwise, as the Club is classed as a private Club and as such do not fall into the ‘public outdoor space’ category.
No further bookings for them can now be taken.
Sorry.
