Despite the large number of unallocated winning numbers this month the K.C.C. Management Committee are anxious that it continues.

There are currently seventeen unallocated numbers with the additional being 50-59 numbers since October 2015. It would be great if these numbers could be allocated before the end of the current cricket season, but we shall have to wait and see.

The Management Committee would like to thank you all for your continued support of this fundraising scheme, which, although extremely useful, could be better. The below is a message from Robin Sellar who administers the Club:

For the benefit of those members of the Club not currently contributing to the Phoenix Club II, it was started on the 1st July, 2007, to raise funds for the rebuilding of the new Kenilworth Cricket Club clubhouse after the disastrous fire at the Club. Since August, 2013, the new building has been fully financed, of which the Phoenix Club II contributed £10,100 in just over six years.

The Management Committee of the Kenilworth Cricket Club decided to continue the Phoenix Club II to raise funds, which will be ring-fenced, for future external and internal maintenance, refurbishment of fixtures and fittings, new equipment and possible expansion of the building.

The Phoenix Club II is based on the number of the bonus ball of the National Lottery’s Lotto draw on Wednesday and Saturday of each week, and each member who holds the randomly allotted number of the bonus ball drawn in the two Lotto draws each week will win the £15 prize. It does not cost a fortune to join the Phoenix Club II, just 58 pence per draw, paid by a banker’s standing order of £5 per month payable a month in advance.

Over the past 55 plus years, Kenilworth Cricket Club has gone through a vast change. From changing in wooden huts, without electricity and showers, and renting the ground to what we have today, owning our field with superb facilities. All this has been achieved by the hard work of past, and some currently elderly, members. It is hoped that the spirit of the past will continue at Kenilworth Cricket Club by both current and new members so that everyone can enjoy the facilities in the future.

One way of continuing the spirit of the past is, of course, to join the Phoenix Club II and help to maintain and possibly improve the facilities which we already enjoy, by contacting to Robin Sellar, 5 Villiers Road, Kenilworth, CV8 2JB, or e-mail it to sellar05@btinternet.com.

It is appreciated that the playing of cricket, especially at club level, is expensive but I feel sure that if members were asked to purchase a raffle ticket twice a week for a cheap bottle of wine, they would do so, therefore why not join the Phoenix Club II? Membership is not confined to Cricket Club members. Anybody over 18 years of age can join, it does not cost a fortune, and it will help Kenilworth Cricket Club to continue to provide first class facilities.

Anyway, on to the May winners of the Lotto Bonus Ball:
