It's been a mixed season thus far with wins, losses, and draws evenly distributed. Pleasingly, there have been a few last-over finishes where both teams had something to play for. Despite the rather cool, damp summer thus far, only 2 games have been lost to weather.
The Spond app has been used this season to help the Team Selector and Match Managers administer teams for individual games. We are still finding our feet with it but it remains our best option for managing availability and selecting teams so please support by providing up-to-date availability.
Many thanks to all those who have paid their annual subscriptions or arranged a direct debit. For those who are still in arrears, the club membership fees for 2024 are £72 for playing members and £15 for youth, student, and non-playing members.

Each year there is the requirement to trim the hedges that surround the Down. Whilst contractors are brought in to do the ‘trimming’ their costs are significantly reduced if volunteers can move the arisings to the nearby woods. Date is to be arranged but please let Richie Hay know if you'd like to help.
Following the final game of the season, Harry intends to rennovate the Square. This will involve unloading topsoil and spreading it where needed. Volunteers are requested to help with this task.
We are planning a Ground closure and ‘End of Season BBQ’ on 14 September.
There is the Annual Club dinner on Saturday 5 October at 7pm with details. to be emailed in August. The Club AGM is the next day starting at 11am.
The Chairman will write separately on the governance of Brigands CC and it’s relationship with the soon-to-be defunct Broadhalfpenny Down Preservation Trust. It is the intention to circulate options for this to the membership ahead of the AGM itself to enable members to fully participate in the meeting. The Committee hope to see a large turn-out of members at the AGM.
Yours aye
Richie Hay
Hon. Secretary
