If you would like to come please give me (Enders) a deposit of £50 made payable to Windsor Cricket Club, asap. This tour is strictly on a 1st come, 1st served basis, as I get the feeling it will be over-subscribed.

The overall cost will be in the region of £130, which includes mini-bus, ferry and 5 nights accomodation. You may pay in instalments, but I need the £50 deposit.

Another fixture added

Wednesday or Thursday of tour will see Windsor CC visiting Phoenix CC, who play in the picturesque Phoenix Park in the centre of Dublin. Therefore we will be visiting both Waterford and Dublin, enjoying the delights of both cities!

Berkshire Cup Semi Final
Windsor vs Emmbrook and Bearwood - Away

For the sake of those that played there will be no report from this game. Forget about it. It didn't happen.

Tour is on!

1st Fixture vs Lismore CC Sunday 3rd August, basically as soon as we get there.

I have received replies from Lismore CC who would like to play us!

Anyone for cricket?
Richard Endacott, a member of Windsor Cricket Club in Berkshire, England, sent us an e-mail "to see if there are any cricket clubs who would be keen to play against us," when they undertake a short tour to the saturated south-east in early August.

"I have heard many great things about Waterford," he says, "and would welcome the opportunity to bring a group of cricketers to play and of course enjoy your renowned hospitality and the craic."

In return, "any interested clubs will be invited to take part in the 2004 Windsor Cricket Festival, which often welcomes sides from Holland and Italy and other such cricket 'hotspots'."

He's asked me to send his e-mail address (cynthia@endacott.fsworld.co.uk) on to any relevant cricket clubs and also point them in the direction of the Windsor club's very informative website - www.windsorcc.com

Given that I'm not exactly up to speed with Waterford's cricketing scene (as far as I know there's the Waterford Vikings Cricket Club, as well as The Glass, Dunmore East and Lismore), perhaps those familiar with the local LBW low-down at Ballinakill could pass on the message.

And, this is just a suggestion, but if 'The Windsors' do make it across, maybe Waterford Crystal, who were commissioned to cut a glass replica of the famous Ashes trophy a few years back, could stump up a suitable piece to mark the occasion. I'm sure the visitors would be bowled over.

Rain Jackets Available

If you would like one of the 'Forest green' Rain Jackets as modelled by Pete Thompson and Warren, then please add this to your form, they are provisionally £13 each, a bargain if you ask me. For a size guide, a large was ideal for me.

To be included in on the latest order, you need to get your forms to Wazza by this weekend please. Everything apart from the jumpers will take about 2 weeks.

Caribbean Cocktail Evening
Saturday 6th June 2003

There is a caribbean cocktail night planned for this Saturday night. A bar-b-q will be sizzling and Dave Condon will be putting together a fine array of cocktails which will put Charley's Horse to shame. (although they do have better looking bar staff). Events kick off after the cricket has come to an end, if anybody has any caribbean cds, grass skirts and dodgy shirts please feel free to bring them along!!!

Newsletter

If anybody has anything they would like to put into the latest Newsletter please forward to me rich_endacott@hotmail.com as soon as possible please folks.
