Hi all,
Hope you are well. With training and the cricket season scheduled to commence shortly, please see below Club update. Training / Matches As previously advised, training will commence as planned on Tuesday 26 October. Training will start from 5.45pm each Tuesday and Thursday evening this season. The season is on track to start the weekend of 13/14 November as planned. The VTCA will progressively release the fixture for the first month of the season in the weeks ahead, noting that the First and Second XI fixtures have recently been released. The clubrooms will be open when Victoria reaches 80% double vaccination. The State Government announced today this is now likely to be late October/early November. At the time of writing, State Government guidelines on the mandatory vaccination requirements for community cricket across training, matches and facilities have not been released. The club will share relevant information with club members when it becomes available. Captains / Chairman of Selectors The Club and Senior Coach, Liam Braithwaite, have finalised the following captains for the season ahead: 1sts - Liam Braithwaite 2nds - Hernie Isorena 3rds - Craig Stevens 4ths - Karthik Murthy 5ths - Nathan Wigmore 6ths - Jeremy van Kruining Ex-player Michael Slinger will be Chairman of Selectors for season 2021/22. The committee would like to thank outgoing 2nds captain Sheldon D'Souza for his contribution over the last two seasons. Further information will be advised on the contact details of the Senior Coach and Captains in the weeks ahead. Recruiting of players If you know of anyone who would like to play cricket this season (senior and junior grades), please let them know we are looking for players and/or bring them down to training. New players can also contact me for further information on the club. Subscriptions and match fees As per the link below, yearly subscriptions are now open! Subscriptions remain at $150 this season, as do match fees at $20 per match. http://www.seddoncricketclub.com/registration--subs.html Club clothing If you would like to order clothing (see link below) for the season ahead, please contact Secretary Jeremy van Kruining via email at secretary.seddoncc@gmail.com http://www.seddoncricketclub.com/club-clothing.html Social event - November With community facilities scheduled to reopen when Victoria reaches 80% double vaccination in late October/early November as predicted, the Club are planning to hold the first social function on either Saturday 13th or 20th November. More details on the theme and date of the social event will follow in the next couple of weeks. Slate removal As a reminder from the 5th September club update, the Club has made the decision to discontinue the "slate" and will now only accept payment for bar purchases, match fees and yearly subscriptions via EFT or cash payment. Please note: The Club has also implemented a "positive slate" into its POS system this season and beyond. Did you know? The Club now has an Instagram account! See link below. https://instagram.com/seddoncricket?utm_medium=copy_link If you have any questions, please let me know. Regards, Leigh Davies President - Seddon Cricket Club The Seddon Cricket Club are currently seeking the services of an opening bowler to complement our First X1 for the upcoming season. On offer is an attractive package for the right player/s.
NOTE: Overseas based player applications will not be considered. Please contact Leigh Davies on email at president.seddoncc@gmail.com or via mobile on 0477 050 473 for further information or to discuss your interest in playing at Seddon CC this season. With the season fast approaching and in light of all the challenges we have faced this year, the Committee wishes to outline its decisions regarding subs and match fees. Match fees will remain at $20 per week. Subs will remain at $150 with $75 due 31/12/2020. Payment of the first installment of $75 by the above date will constitute a full member who, as per the current Constitution, will have voting rights at the next AGM. This payment will contribute to the ongoing sustainability of the club during these uncertain times. At the December Committee meeting, the requirement for the second $75 installment will be reviewed and should Covid continue to be an influence on the cricket season, the Committee may elect to reduce the total Subs due for season 2020/21. Subs can be paid via the button or transferring to the clubs account below. Account Name: Seddon Cricket Club
BSB: 063-181 Account: 1040 9923 Reference: Subs and add your name Be sure to send an email to the Treasurer (treasurer.seddoncc@gmail.com) to confirm you have paid and provide the reference so we can match it to your payment. Should you have any questions regarding the above or if you are experiencing financial hardship as a result of Covid, please let a member of the Committee know and this will be handled on a case by case basis. Based on Cricket Victoria's 'Roadmap for the return of community cricket' (see attached), it is assumed that as part of Step 3 the VTCA's proposed start date of Saturday 21 November will proceed as planned. The VTCA have also released the fixtures for all 1st and 2nd XI matches this season (please see attached). The fixtures for the lower grades will be released in the next week or so.
With that in mind, Captain/Coach Liam Braithwaite has developed a training schedule that includes senior training commencing on Thursday 5 November (noting Cup Day on Tuesday 3 November) and proposed practice matches with Yarraville Club CC on Saturday 14 November. If anything changes with the training schedule, we will advise club members accordingly. Please note: Individual training - not club based training - can now take place in groups of up to 10 on the strict proviso that participants in the groups come from no more than two households and are within 25km of their primary residence. When we return to training and playing, the club will be adopting Cricket Victoria's up to date COVID safe plan for clubs. Cricket Victoria are currently working on a revised version in line with yesterday's State Government announcements. This will include some of the following measures: - Training in three groups of 11 (plus the coach), with a maximum of two groups per oval and one group in the nets. - Display of COVID safe signage around the ovals and facilities - QR code training attendance register process - Hand sanitising stations with State Government and Cricket Australia hygiene products - Ball and equipment sanitising procedures - COVID Safe Officers for each senior side - COVID safe policies for drinks breaks and afternoon teas. Cricket Victoria have advised we need to play our part in complying with the State Government's directions with the motto of "Cricket in a Pandemic is a privilege not a right”. The Club will be taking this compliance very seriously. |
