NOTICEBOARD

(to post information on here, please contact the Secretary)

The latest information was posted on here on the 28th February 2010

YOU MIGHT GET CAUGHT OUT, BUT YOU'LL NEVER BE LEFT OUT!
MEMORIAL SERVICE

The sad death of Query Dr Stephen Henry was reported some time ago.

A Memorial Service will be held for Stephen Henry on the 20th March 2010 in St James' Church, Trowbridge, at 3.00pm.  All Wiltshire Queries who knew Stephen are welcome to attend this service of Celebration and Thanksgiving.


FIXTURES 2010

Please check the Fixtures page - we have had to change the dates for Indoor nets at Dauntsey's School.

The final position with the Fixtures for this season can be seen on the Fixtures page. Chippenham and Marlborough have confirmed that they will play in the Twenty/20 event. A President's vs Secretary's match is being organised for the end of the season, to be played on the same day as a golf event, and both will be followed by an evening meal at High Post Golf Club where we have been looked after so well in the past 2 years.

There are three new fixtures for the Queries - Chilmark CC, the Royal Household CC and Somerset Stragglers CC.  We used to play the Stragglers in days gone by, and it will be good to renew our acquaintance with them again. Also, all the match managers are now in place so the next task is to get the fixtures card printed.

IS SPRING IN THE AIR?

No sooner does Alex Garman announce his engagement than David Lawson follows suit. On one knee on Valentine's day evening on a beach in Kenya, he popped the question and Gill said 'yes'. Some of the Queries may have met Gill when David introduced her during the Gloucester Gipsies match last year at Stowell Park.  Congratulations to them both!

ALEX GARMAN HAS GOT ENGAGED !

Dear All,
 
I haven't spoken to some of you for a long time and I apologise for that and I hope that you are all well.
 
As many of you know I made the commitment last year to travel to the USA to spend some time learning about the US, its ins and outs, the people and the culture and to see whether life in Alabama really is like a box of chocolates. Most of you also know that there was the huge added benefit of getting to finally spend some time with Mary whom I met the year before on a cricket tour to the West Indies. Some of you were lucky enough to be on that trip and meet her yourselves.
 
We didnt know how that was going to work out but decided to suck it and see. From 5000 miles apart and having never spent more than 12 days together, we decided to share a house in the small town of Auburn, Alabama, where she was going to be completing her final year of Vet School and I could easily travel to my work in Montgomery.
 
Well, I'm pleased to let you all know that it has worked out and this weekend whilst walking on a beach in the Gulf of Mexico, I decided to get down on one knee and ask her to marry me. I am very pleased to let you all know that she said yes and we are looking into getting married later on this year.
 
I'm sorry to have been out of touch with many of you for so long and am sad to say that not a lot of you have had the chance to meet Mary, but I hope to rectify both very soon.
 
I'll look forward to speaking to you all in the near future.
 
Alex Garman
