Hi all,
With the rest of the week set fair, we can finally look forward to a weekend of cricket at Dulwich Common with the colts training commencing next week! There are four games for the seniors at home over the weekend and a repeat the following week. If you are looking for a game, get in touch with our Chair of Cricket (Raj Patel) on rajnaldo@aol.com, 07983 452 211 or via the club Facebook page.
In the meantime, there are a few events coming up that I need to make you aware of…
Surrey CCC Roadshow @ Streatham & Marlborough CC – Wednesday 15th April
This is open to all and is a great opportunity to find out more about Surrey Cricket. Includes a short film ‘My Surrey’ and a Q&A session with Chief Executive Richard Gould, Director of Cricket Development Paul Taylor and Surrey legend, now Second XI coach, Alistair Brown. Book your (free) ticket here… http://www.kiaoval.com/next-roadshow-streatham-marlborough-cc/
Pub Games Night – Saturday 18th April
If your competitive juices haven’t been satisfied by a day’s cricket, you will get your chance to challenge your fellow members to a series of pub games in the evening. There’ll be pool, darts, skittles and (I’m sure) a few drinking related games to keep you entertained… All welcome.

There will be the usual day of food, cricket and copious amounts of rum punch on this bank holiday weekend with our President, Peter (Coach/Grizz/Phil Banks/Chef from South Park) Edwards, putting out an invitational XI to play against Chairman’s XI. All welcome to come and enjoy the day!
