If you would rather spread any dues you may owe the cub, for e.g. Tour, membership, club kit and 100 club please contact Dave Kaill on XXXXXXX who will be able to arrange to set up a monthly standing order for you.
100 Club
For many years Deando CC have been running a 100 club which raises much needed cash to pay for various kit and equipment each season. For the equivalent of £1.00 a week you are entered into a weekly draw where you could win £10.00, then the grand Draw in June & December, the winner receives £750.00, the runner up £200.00 and third number drawn out of the hat wins £100.00.
All profits from the two draws each year go directly back into the Club so please consider joining – in the first instance contact Dave Kaill for more information.
NEWS
The following has reached our newsdesk concerning our mild mannered President Mr Doug Mckenzie.
Congratulations Doug!
Doug was presented his award as Rat of the Year at the Grand Order of Water Rats’ Annual Ball at Grosvenor House on Sunday 24 November.
The Rat of the Year Trophy, instituted in 1964, is awarded to the Water Rat whose efforts are singularly outstanding. He is the Water Rat who works unobtrusively behind the scenes. He plods on, like an invisible giant, taking the big strides that bring success to a project. The recipients of the Gold Trophy hold it for one year, after which they receive a replica.
Previous winners include Ronnie Hazlehurst in 1995, Roy Castle in 1992, Jimmy Perry in 1983, Bernie Clifton in 1982, Michael Robbins in 1978, Arthur English in 1976, Henry Cooper in 1975, Danny La Rue in 1973 and Jimmy Tarbuck in 1969.
Wanted
Help is needed – when isn’t it….
The cricket Club requires a Kit Officer. We currently own two kit bags full of kit – quite new and expensive. Every year kit needs to be replaced or repaired. We currently get very good discounts with Romida in Leatherhead. The only requisite for the job is a car to be able to move the stuff around if you have the time (only a couple of hours a month) please contact Dave Bliss on xxxxx or xxxxx.
Web Wizard required. Deando CC have a website up and running www.deandocc.co.uk, however this needs to be rebranded to reflect our new Club. The initial work would probably take about 8/9 hours then subsequently about 1hr a week to keep the site updated. If you can spare some time to help out on this please contact Mabes Suleman on xxxxxxxxx.
Umpires required. The League is looking at each side having to supply a non-playing umpire especially in division one where our first XI will be playing. You don’t need to be qualified – but having some idea of the LBW law would be a bonus!! – So if you can spare a few Saturdays to help the club out and get a free tea please contact Paul Goodall at xxxxxxxx.
