Sunbury Cricket Club is holding an Open Day on Sunday 14th April to launch their 75th Anniversary celebrations from 12:30 and to which LOSRA members and other Sunbury residents are invited.
There will be a colts practice and recruitment morning from 10:00 am until noon. A President's XI will be playing the Club from 1:00 am. The toss will be conducted by the Mayor of Spelthorne on behalf of the home captain. A match will also be taking place on the second square.
The Club was started by four schoolboys at the Cedars recreation ground in 1938 to become one of the strongest in Surrey and the South East playing in the Premier Division of the Surrey Championship. The club has been a strong contender for the Championship of late finishing in 2nd or 3rd places in each of the last four years. It has also introduced thousands of boys and girls from the age of 5 upwards to the joys of cricket with a current colts’ membership of 250, some of the best of whom progress to play at county and international level.
A book on the history of the Club, running to some 230 pages and including some 150 photographs, will be available for sale. Applications for membership will be welcome.
Full details of the Anniversary year are at www.sunburycricket.co.uk/anniversary75.php.
