Just finishing off winter in sunny Nth Qld,have been reading Annual Report and 1st Newsletter on web.

Weather really warming up here in Charters Towers and cricket has started two weeks ago in Townsville.

All the best to the club for the coming season,especially the Pressies who I am sure will get along fine without my presence this season.Just go one better boys and will catch you at a few games during the season.

Cheers Howard Chellew.

Hello club mates. As another season approaches I'm duty bound to give you all an update of LPWCC.

James Winstanley has taken an opportunity to play first grade cricket in Sydney for Sunderland, we wish him all the best as Brett Lee also plays for the club and the practice wickets are dodgy at best!

James Baxendale is coming right after a horrific off season league injury,
James twisted an ankle and had 3.5 months on the sideline, he even needed crouches. During his comeback game against the Cant womens team he got knocked out by the womens stand off. Hard luck mate!

Hamish Woodley and Bruce Cameron celebrated the civil union in July, a first for the club, it wont be the last! Adam Vandy Pants has been going steady with old brown cheeks' former Mrs, great news mate. John the Tongan has been playing on the wing for the Warriors.

Good luck for the preseason match against Marlborough, as good club men corn and I wont be there, anything to help!

Catch you soon remember "Line & Length" and run the first one hard!!

Wayneo

Well done Redders

Gidday chicken,

Hope you are well,

Just a quick note to let everyone know, I have just completed my degree in Sport Psychology which my services are available free of charge for any of the mighty Lancs.

I have come up with a new formula of how to intergrate off field activities with on field activities, known as the "48 hour bender plan". Through this you will be able to complete a whole season without any memory of doing so.

Wadoe I will return to Christchurch only if you will captain and coach the Cantabs.

Redders

If anybody from Lancaster Park fancies a season playing League Cricket in England 2008 could you please pass on my details.

cheers Stew (windsockpromotions@tiscali.co.uk)

Gidday Frenchy,

Hows it going mate? You will have even less hair now bowling into the wind aye? When are you comin back to get bossed around by me again?,

All these young ones dont take any notice of me anymore! So it would be good to see you again.If you are back in town make sure you pop down the ground and say hullo,

cheers for now, Garry Mac.

Playing in 4th Grade now, social fun with mates. We won the grade last year & hope to repeat this season. I play as a bowler now, well could never score many runs lol & as I am with old boys, someone has to bowl into the wind.

Nice effort on the website... was thinking of home, did a search.... well done on the site. Good to see some of the old heads are still around. Hope you all have a good season. Plenty of runs, wickets, wins, drinks etc. If on holiday over here, track me down. Be good to catch up.

Frenchy :)

To date not a single offer to put the two lads from the UK up. They don’t need to stay together so if you can only put one up that's a start and maybe someone else could take the other. Emphasise also that it is not for the season, just maybe a couple of weeks, giving them time to bed in before finding a flat or whatever.

Please if you can help, get in touch with me a.s.a.p.

Many thanks.

Paul (pbennett@slingshot.co.nz)

Both are coming over from my cricket club so have heard all the great stuff about the club. I sure you lot will look after them willing and give them all the support you gave me in my years in CHCH. It will be great if someone could help out, both are extremely talented cricketers, far much than I was (not hard thou aye?)

Hoping you lot are all well,

From your No.1 Pommie,

Heano

If any one from the club could possibly help out could you ring me on 331 6024 as soon as possible.

It would be much appreciated in helping to settle them in.
