Plans for 2009

We had a bumper turnout at our Annual Team Meeting to talk about plans for the 2009 season.

We made a small profit in 2008 despite our investment in refurbishing the club house and kick starting our junior coaching. This was made possible by our fund raising activities: sponsorship, social events and donations - thank you if you contributed in any way.

We're in a good place at the moment with most major things in place from our efforts over the past few years: better outdoor nets, the new bowling machine, new sightscreen, sponsored kit, Sunday side, etc.

In 2009 our main focus is building on the great start we've had with our junior section. Leggy is halfway through his Level 2 coaching badge and Tuckers is very fired up on the organisation front. Their big plan is to enter a team in a midweek junior league in 2009.

We'll still have a range of social events: Curry Night, Golf Day, Bank Holiday 20/20 plus a few others in the planning stage. The 2009 Tour is rumoured to be to the sun-drenched North East coast.

Happily Matt Burton has kindly agreed to be our main sponsor again in 2009. So do have a look on www.internet-ink.co.uk when you need some printer ink!

We had positive news about recruiting some new players, and do speak to your friends and work mates about joining the Millers.

So lots to look forward to. Winter nets will start at Trent Bridge at the beginning of March to have a very focused pre-season build up. And we'll have some social gathering before then - watch this space.
