After the successful return of the Summer Diet of Egg and Bacon Rolls on a Saturday morning, I am once again asking for a volunteer to cook this coming Saturday.

The Eggs, Bacon, Rolls, sauces etc will all be there for Saturday so all we need now is someone to cook between 10:30 & 12:30.

Please contact Paul Thurston on paul@thurston17.freeserve.co.uk if you can help this week, or with any date/s you could do so I can put together a list/rota of cooks.

This is one of our major fundraisers so please help if you possibly can.

After last weeks great start to the season ,it was back to earth with a bang this week with just two wins. The Saturday 3rd X1 remain unbeaten ,while the Sunday 2s recorded their first victory. Tom Allen will be the only entry on The Wall of fame this week with his 6 for 65 against Ipswich and East.Our picture features Andy Francis who made a valiant 97* against Worlingworth on Saturday
All the scoresheets are posted on our website along with the press reports.Well not all. The Sunday 2nd X1 match was admirably scored by John Child on the laptop and trials continue in downloading it straight onto the website tomorrow.

The website will feature a monthly campaign on good house keeping starting in May with a prompt to use the recycling bins. A reminder to ALL members you can help, if you see a full bin please take time to get it emptied. 

Midweek and Youth cricket matches get underway this week so if you are not playing come along and support.

Perhaps it was the unusual hot sunshine, or the heady feeling that comes from 3 victories on the opening day, but whatever it was it prompted fond memories of last years MCC tour.  So at this intoxicating time why not remind everyone that there is another tour in 2013, this time to Brighton.

The fixtures are organised:

Sunday 25 August v St Peters
Monday 26 August v Newick
Tuesday 27 v Ringmer
Wednesday 28 v Seaford
Thursday 29 v Worthing

The hotel is organised: The Premier Inn, Brighton

This is fully refurbished and highly recommended by Lenny Henry (and I dont even think they were paying him, he did it for the love of it!).  The cost is £86 per double or twin room. Family rooms have additional put-up beds provided.  This does not include breakfast, but in cosmopolitan Brighton a decent, affordable breakfast cannot be that hard to find.

So badger your parents, or badger your wife (or husband if one of the MCC Ladies) and get the dates in your diaries; it's a cricket tour and that means it's the most legal fun you can have in a week in this country.

Any questions or for more information feel free to contact any of the MCC Touring Committee - Mark, Chris, Lee or Lou

Mildenhall Cricket Club's Life Vice President Roger Pendleton funeral will take place at Bury St Edmunds Crematorium at 2.15 p.m. on Friday 3rd May. Following the funeral there will be a wake held at Mildenhall Cricket Club.
