The second Glasgow Accies Cricket Club Race Night will be held at Anniesland on Friday 18th April.

The bar will be open from 7pm with a programme of races beginning shortly afterwards.

Tickets (available on the door) are priced £5 and includes ownership of one horse (whilst stock lasts, so be prepared to name your runner).

All members are strongly encouraged to attend, and to bring with them a group of friends, colleagues or family - the section relies strongly on events like this to cover its running costs for the season. It should also give you an opportunity to meet this season's amateur.

With the added challenge of running a fourth team on a full time basis for the first time, it's now more important than ever that players enter their availablity on-line.

Before you start using the tool, you must:

1. create an account
2. link your account to your "player profile" - to do so contact us, entering only your name, your email address, the type ("player/username" tie-up) and your username in the "your enquiry" field.

It's possible for one user account to update more than one player, which should be of particular benefit to parents/guardians.

When you're using the tool, you'll have the option to set-up email reminders in case you forget to enter your availability for a fixture.

All of the team captains and managers will greatly appreciate your assistance in this matter.
