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
