• Through this sponsorship, a number of new projects have been launched, this being one of them, in the county and it has allowed us to venture out into the community to provide cricket opportunities to many children under the age of ten.
• The Cricket Telecom Trophy will consist of four regional tournaments around the county in the search for eight teams to compete in the Grand Final, which will be held under the floodlights at the County Ground on Saturday 9th September 2006.
• Once again this particular competition is unique, in that the winning team will walk away with a voucher for £500 to be spent on equipment for their clubs junior cricket. This is the highest amount offered anywhere in the country. Also, every team that enters the tournament will be entitled to a complimentary Kwik Cricket Kit and three places for club helpers on an ECB Introductory Course, free of charge.
• To follow are the details of the regional tournaments, the rules (which must be adhered to) and an application from. I would be most grateful if all applications can be returned by Friday 28th April.
• Please pass this letter on to the relevent person in your club, and inform us of any changes within the structure of your club.
