ARCC this weekend
/in News/by Adam BernsteinAs usual we have two games at Butts Way this weekend.
On the top ground our second team will play Leighton Buzzard, starting at 12.30. And on the bottom field, the third team host Long Marston. Both teams are looking to rebound from heavy defeats last weekend.
The first team travel to Banbury and the fourth team are going to Chesterton and are looking to build on their wins last weekend.
Also, we have junior training plus the bar on Friday night. But the big news is that the All Stars training programme sessions start next week with a BBQ from 5.30pm.
Finally, the building of the pavilion on the bottom field is progressing nicely. The crowd funding appeal is still open if you would like to contribute; you can do this on the club website astonrowantcricket.com, just click on the pavilion picture.
Cycling in the area on 22 June
/in News/by Adam BernsteinJust a brief note to say that the Samaritans have organised a charity cycle ride across three routes over 40, 80 and 120 km around the area on Saturday 22 June.
It’s hoped that the ride won’t be too disruptive. Even so, please watch out for riders when driving… or join in.

ARCC news
/in News/by Adam BernsteinThe cricket club website domain has had to be changed for technical reasons; it is now astonrowantcricket.co.uk. This is the best place to keep up with the events at the club, including this Saturday when you can see live scores on the website.
On Friday night we continue with the junior training nights, the first two of these have been very successful and our thanks to all who have attended. If you haven’t been up on a Friday night it’s recommended it. The bar is open and it is a pleasure to see so many juniors charging about, enjoying themselves.
This weekend on Saturday we have the 2nd team at home to Cropredy on the top field starting at 12.30, and the 4th team at home to Stokenchurch 2’s starting at 1pm. The bar will open from 2pm.

Rowachella is only four weeks away on June 15th. Tickets are selling fast, please go to the club’s new website to buy tickets.
Parish litter pick to be re-arranged
/in News/by Adam BernsteinThe parish council has taken the decision to re-arrange the litter pick planned for this weekend to another weekend to be specified. Quite simply the road sides are overgrown to the point of being hard to see the litter and/or are dangerous.
OCC hasn’t cut the grass for a while and the recent growth spurt hasn’t helped. The parish council has asked one of our county councillors to see if he can the job done for us.
ARCC this week
/in News/by Adam BernsteinThis Friday is the real start of the cricket season and the club will properly open with the start of Junior Training with the bar opening at 6pm. These Friday nights will continue throughout the season.
There is cricket on both Saturday and Sunday when the first team will play two matches. On Saturday they play a friendly game against Totteridge Milhillians. But as we said last week, the highlight of the weekend will be on Sunday 28th, when we will host the first round of the National Knockout against Malden Wanderers on the top field. Unfortunately, the second team game has been postponed as the bottom pitch is still not ready for cricket. The bar will be open from the start of play.
Can we ask people to visit the club web site astonrowantcc.com for more details and updates.
Finally, can we once again politely remind all members that subscriptions are now due – again the details are on the web site.
