Back in action. Junior coaching in on as normal tomorrow (May 6)
Junior cricket coaching is being held at Hill Close as normal at 6.15pm tomorrow (Friday, May 6).
It coincides, however, with Bredon Rugby Club’s annual dinner, which a number of our coaches and several children are attending.
The session will go ahead, albeit with reduced numbers, and groups are likely to be merged depending on attendance and how many coaches/helpers are available.
Parents/carers are reminded that their children should not practise in the nets unless they are being supervised by a club coach or helper.

Who is Bredon Cricket Club’s volunteer of the year? Now is your chance to put them forward for the praise they deserve.
The nomination process for this year’s Bill Jones Memorial Volunteer of the Year Award/Natwest OSCAs (outstanding service to cricket awards) is now open.
Worcestershire Cricket launched the award in memory of one of recreational cricket’s most loyal and hardworking volunteers, Bill (WF) Jones.
The award offers an opportunity for clubs like ours to recognise hard-working volunteers who you feel have made a difference either during the year, or over time.
There are seven different categories you can choose from to nominate. They are:
Heartbeat of the Club
Get the game on
Leagues
Lifetime achiever
NatWest CricketForce
Officiating – impires and scorers
Young volunteer
Nominations are not limited to one individual/group per category.
Following the cut-off date for nominations, Friday, July 1, a panel will sit to select the winners in each category.
All nominated individuals will be invited to an awards lunch on Tuesday, August 23, at Worcestershire County Cricket Club.
The club committee will put forward our official nomination, but we would like to hear your views about who deserves an accolade.
Main points: success for kitchen grant application, sponsors back club, date set to renovate clubhouse floor, end-of-season dinner date fixed, new subscription prices for 2016 confirmed.

They’re back! Those fabulous summer evenings when your children get to learn one of the world’s greatest sports, while you look on… perhaps with a refreshing drink in your hand.
Junior coaching begins at Bredon Cricket Club (find us here) on Friday (April 29) at 6.15pm.
Children are taught basic skills such as catching, throwing, bowling and batting in a friendly, supportive environment. They learn in groups of not more than 20 based on age and ability.
Parents can enjoy a relaxing drink from our clubhouse bar and unwind after a hard week in one of the most beautiful spots in Bredon.
