Chairman Tom
(15-11-11)
Birdlip and
Brimpsfield Cricket Club. We
lose a legend from the club , a
man who brought his own kind of
humour to the changing room, a
man with whom I opened the
batting with on many occasion
and had a 100 opening
partnership in a very critical
league game , all of BBCC wish
John Jessop a very happy
retirement. Our AGM moved the
club forward , some very
positive changes for the future,
Ian Green now chairman of the
juniors is heading up 2 junior
league sides , Andy Hieron is
1st team captain a tough but
fair man who just loves to win ,
Andy Moor a very experienced
cricketer is 2nd team captain
,and Dan Knock takes us into an
unknown area as Sunday 1st team
league captain , we now have a
cricket development committee
headed by our ex pro Mr D
Partridge , he will be passing
amongst you looking for talent .
Our trustees continue to keep
their eye on us and just
sometimes have to give a gentle
tug on the reins. We are holding
our Christmas raffle at the
Golden Heart on Monday 19th Dec
all money raised going to the
development of our junior
cricket , if you are not offered
the chance to buy these tickets
but would like to join in ,

Chairman Tom
(21-10-11)Birdlip
and Brimpsfield Cricket Club.
October saw our annual club
dinner this was held at the
Golden Heart and I would like to
thank them for a splendid job. A
lot of fun was had and the
guests were very polite during
the speeches. Our silver ware
was won in the 1st team by Andy
Moore whose batting average shot
up with 4 not outs, Andy Heiron
won the bowling cup. In the 2nd
X1 the batting was won by young
George Smith and the bowling by
the ever green Paul Harris, the
clubman trophy which the
chairman chooses went to Trevor
Holder our treasurer and bar
steward for all his hard work
off the field. The Junior cup
this year went to Dan Gadsen who
is excelling not only at junior
level but also in the mens game
.November the 14th is our AGM to
be held at the clubhouse 7.30 pm
. We are reintroducing the
Christmas raffle this year all
proceeds to go to the junior
section, so brace yourselves for
the sales pitch! |

The young batsmen
walked out to the wicket for his
first match against the seniors.
A spectator called out "I've put
a nice bet on you" "That's nice"
he replied nervously "I'll
probably get a duck though" The
punter replied "That's what I've
bet" |

Your Chairman has something
to say
(15-9-11)
The
season comes to a close but not
without some good wins under our
belt , Cirencester thought they
would be back in town in time
for the pubs to be open but the
most senior and most junior
players at BBCC built a winning
total, making the opposition
wonder where they went wrong.
The 2nd 11 too finished with a
couple of good performances. Tom
and Joe Cotterell brought a team
from London for the Cotterell
memorial game ,although they
lost the fixture looks permanent
in our calendar for the future.
After the last league game Jo
Partridge and a helper provided
us with a most delicious curry
that was shared with the BBCC
supporters club, who turned up
en masse to drink the bar dry.
The tour to Bournemouth was once
again a huge success with 2 wins
out of 3, lots to say but, what
goes on tour stays on tour. Our
next event will be our annual
dinner this year to be held at
the Golden Heart on October 1st
,all supporters welcome to come
and listen to our speeches. Our
AGM will be early November. Once
again thank you to the sponsor
of our test wicket covers the
difference to the wicket is a
real bonus. Chairman Tom Parsons |
