Hi All,

I’m very excited to officially announce that Cricket NSW in partnership with Northern District Cricket Club are launching a new initiative in Term 1 2020 to encourage more women to be active and to participate in cricket. This Social Cricket initiative will be targeted at all women over 16 years of age, which includes mums of our junior players, partners of senior players, and anyone else who just wants to be involved. Through this program we can give them an opportunity to play the game they have likely watched hundreds of times and always wanted to give it a go, or even just take up the sport again after a bit of a break. The details are:

• When: Wednesday nights starting 12/2/20, ending 18/3/20
  • Come and try night on 5/2/20
  • 6 Week program
• Where: Mark Taylor Oval, Waitara
• Time: 7pm – 8:30pm. 8pm onwards up in the club house for BYO drinks and complimentary food for first 2 weeks. After that we will be encouraging people to bring their own food to share with everyone.
• Register via playcricket.com.au as an individual, small group (2-5 people) or as a full team (6+ players)
• Equipment/ Rules
  • Soft Ball ‘Master Blaster’ style cricket – meaning no protective equipment needed (All bats and balls provided)
  • Teams of 6-8 players
  • Everyone bowls and bats
  • Relaxed format is designed to allow everyone from beginners to experienced players to have fun

I am going to start advertising this from Wednesday afternoon so we will be sending an email to all participants in the area to save you all from having to send out another email to your participant base. If you have any issue with this please let me know by midday tomorrow. I will however be asking clubs to please advertise this via social media channels when the time comes so I will be in contact with some flyers for you soon.

I am really excited to see this get off the ground and hopefully our cricketing community is as well. If you have any questions at all please let me know and I will be more than happy to provide more information.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Regards,

Daniel
