Annual Subscriptions are now due!



Just as a gentle reminder to all cricket club members, the date for which the annual subscriptions are due is Saturday 9th May (the first Thams Valley League game of the season). This is date when the discounted offer of £130 expires.

All players who have played prior to this date will be liable to pay the full amount if payment is made after May 9th.

Any players that play their first game in parrallel with the first league game may be entitled to extra grace period, this will need to be discussed / negotiated with Chris Smith.

This change was proposed and approved at the Annual General Meeting in January by an overwhelming majority.

If anyone has any querries with regards this, please ask Chris Smith, James Jordan or their respective team captain.

New Windsor Cricket Kit 2009



Dear club members

As some of you may know, I have been working hard on securing a new supplier of WCC kit for the 09/10 seasons. We had Smasher for a few years (good quality, rubbish service), and the last couple of years we have been buying from Signature sports (good service, not the right designs/ colours). Both business models are that we have bespoke clothing designed and made in bulk orders only that are on a 10 week lead-time from the far east!

After much searching and negotiating, we have secured our new kit from the top quality and innovative brand Canterbury of NZ!! We have secured ‘standard’ CCC items that are available to be embroidered and delivered very quickly as many of them will be in stock! I hope you agree that the new items look great and will make all WCC players look the part! Adults and colts sizes are available in all the different items.

Please find below the website link for ordering our new playing, training and social clothing, as WCC will NOT be holding any stock at the club anymore, you have to take responsibility to order the kit yourselves. Please can I remind you of the ‘players code of conduct’ re items of cricket clothing that are allowed or permitted to be worn when playing for WCC. Also all captains have pledged to encourage all players to buy the new kit

Please click on www.sportingspirit.co.uk and scroll down on the left hand side to find the Windsor CC tab, and there you will find all the items. As long as you have placed your order by Wednesday, the shirts etc will be embroidered on the Thursday, and if you have selected next day delivery, this will turn up on the Friday.

Other items are being developed and designed (Kit bags/ badges/ Windsor Royals T20 shirts) and I will email out again once they are available to order…..

We also have a few of the 07/08 items (hoodies/ t shirts/ polo shirts/ tracksuit tops) that are available form me or Tim Dadd at discounted prices

Thanx Alex Hill
WCC Kit and Fundraising Secretary

PS currently we are negotiating a system where we can pick up items from the supplier, so postage costs are not incurred by the individual, but this cannot be implemented yet. My advice would be to get 2 or 3 people to arrange an order together so that you total bill is over £100, and therefore the postage will be free!
