As we hit the halfway point of the season, it's a great time to reflect on what we've achieved together. We've already completed over 40 matches across various teams, including our junior age groups, senior women's and men's sides, the Egham Eagles, Sunday Roses, and the Egham CC Trust side. It's truly incredible to think about the immense effort that goes into coordinating teas, preparing pitches, arranging fixtures, and managing teams—all before even stepping onto the field! A huge thank you to everyone involved behind the scenes.

Our Friday night training sessions continue to be a massive success! The All-Stars initiative has been particularly well-attended, brimming with budding young cricket stars. Our juniors are also benefiting from the excellent coaching provided by Links Coaching, which adds a professional touch to our Friday evenings. And a special shout-out to all the parents for their fantastic support of the Bax Cafe and Pete & Bob's Bar—your patronage is truly appreciated!

Our highly anticipated Presidents' Day is fast approaching on Sunday, July 6th. This is a major highlight in our club calendar, and we'd love to see as many of you as possible there to celebrate with our President, Bob Baldry.

Tickets for the legendary Bax Tea can be purchased for £8 from the bar or online here l. Players involved in the matches will have their match fees cover the cost.

Here's a quick look at the day's schedule:

09:30: Under 12s vs. Valley End
12:00: Women's Tier 1 match vs. Epsom
Following: Short speeches
14:00 PM: Club XI vs. Presidents' XI

Please sign up for Presidents' Day and join us for what promises to be a fantastic day of cricket and camaraderie.

I look forward to seeing you all at the club soon!
