Saturday 3rd June sees the return of Sydenham Fayre – the first since 2019.
The event starts at 1230hrs and runs until 1600hrs.
More details about what’s on and parking is at sydenham-fayre.com.
The advice is to approach Sydenham from Thame and not Postcombe.
At last the weather has changed; whilst it is not red hot at least it should be dry.
This Saturday, as well as the normal cricket matches, we will be hosting the first of our Payday Parties, to be held on the first Saturday night of every month. After the May party being a wash out, we’re finally set to host an event down at the club.
That means pizza, drinks, live music and sun (hopefully) from 1800hrs onwards. It would be amazing to see as many people as possible down there.
A few highlights on the party:
– Groove Rider playing live
– DJ Spoon following after
– Camden Hells at £3 a pint
– Gin and tonics at £3.75
In terms of cricket, the second team are at home to Tiddington – yet another local derby with a start at 12.30. The fourth team are at home to Waddesdon seconds, starting at 1300hrs.
Following their comprehensive win against Slough last weekend, the first team also won the latest round of the Royal London Club Knockout against Ealing. Details on next round will be published whenever we have them.
Friday night junior training will be as normal with bar from 1800hrs.
Please look at astonrowantcc.com for more details and membership details.
The June / July issue of the Parish Notes is now out and should be through letter boxes shortly. In the meantime, a copy is available on this website under Your Community > Parish Notes.

Finger’s crossed, and weather permitting, we should have cricket on Saturday at home for the first time this season.
It is a full and interesting weekend.
At Butts Way we have two local derbies as the Second team play Horspath on the top field and the Fourth team welcome Chinnor on the bottom field. The bar will be open from 1pm.
At the same time our first team take the short journey to Henley in what will be one of the most important games of the season.
And on Sunday the second team travel to Tiddington for the Oxfordshire regional National Village Knock Out semi final.
Junior training is as normal on Friday night.
Can we remind all members that membership renewal is now due, please go to the club website for details, astonrowantcc.co.uk
Finally, a date for dairies – Saturday July 8th Rowachella is back. Early bird tickets are available from the club website or the event website rowachella.co.uk
From ARCC:
The rain ruined last Saturday’s league fixtures when all games were cancelled without a ball being bowled. We will try again on Saturday when the first team will be at home to Banbury. The game should start, weather permitting, at 11.30. The bar will be open from 1pm.
On Sunday the club hosts Brondsbury in the first round of the National Club Championship.
We did manage to play a game on Sunday when we beat Oxford and Bletchington by six wickets to progress to the semi final of the Oxfordshire Village Knockout. We will play away at Tiddington on May 21st.
Tonight – Friday – training is cancelled and the bar won’t open – it’s just too wet; the outfield is flooded.

As in previous years Thame and Wheatley Ramblers have organised some walks to introduce people to walking with them. These will take place on Sunday 4th June in Thame.
This year they are offering a short walk, followed by tea and cakes, and a longer one finishing with complimentary home-made soup.
