Easter Coaching Courses at The Glasgow Academy
Posted on Saturday 28th March 2009 by Fraser Murray
The Glasgow Academy is again running coaching courses during the Easter holidays for any young and enthusiastic cricketer.
The courses will be organised and delivered by Mr Vedam Hariharan who is the cricket professional with the Academy during the summer, and a leading overseas coach in Australian and Indian Cricket Centres of Excellence.
Race and Stumpy Night
Posted on Sunday 15th March 2009 by Fraser Murray
The Accies Race and Stumpy Night will take place on Friday 27 March at the club house in New Anniesland.
There will be food, horse races, coin bowling for prizes and the obligatory stumpy races, for which the club accepts no responsibility for psychological damage or laundry bills.
It's a simple fun format: buy drink, place bet, watch race, shout at useless nag, mutter darkly as you repeat it all over again and your teammates count their winnings.
Even better with stumpy when you can place a bet and shout at flapping teammates as they spiral out of control miles away from the finishing line.
Races are also available for sponsorship at £20.
It will be a fun evening and all so come along and help to raise much needed funds for the club.
Details
- Date: Friday 27 March
- Time: 7 pm
- Place: Clubhouse, New Anniesland
- Tickets: In advance or available on the door. Download and return our Race Night Form to purchase tickets in advance.
- Price: £5 (includes ownership of one horse)
- Further information: fundraising@glasgowaccies.cc
Senior Player Levy
Posted on by Fraser Murray
Accies members pay annual subscriptions as well as a player levy, known at other clubs as match fees.
The annual subscriptions are paid directly to Glasgow Academicals Sports Club, the overarching club for cricket as well as other sports such as rugby and hockey.
The subs covers costs for things like pitch use, maintenance and changing room facilities.
The Accies Cricket Club doesn't receive a penny from the subs which is why it is obliged to raise money through activities such as social events, bonus ball and the player levy.
All funds raised go towards the club's operating costs, equipment and training facilities.
The player levy also provides a convenient method of payment so that captains don't have to hassle their players for match fees.
In addition your 2009 levy will entitle you to free entry to the quiz and race nights in 2010.
The player levy is an extra expense on top of the annual subs but the subs and levy combined are still cheaper when compared to the cost of membership at other cricket clubs.
The player levy for 2009 is £60 for seniors, £40 for students and unwaged, and £15 for juniors.
Both subscription and levy should be paid no later than 31st May 2009 - if you don't pay you won't be selected to play!
To make paying the Senior/Student player levy more convenient this year we will have the option of paying by standing order.
This will allow you to set up four monthly payments to cover your player levy for 2009 which will entitle you to free entry to the quiz and race nights in 2010.
The same convenient method of payment is available for the club's bonus ball competition.
Senior Mebership Forms and Player Levy Standing Order Forms will be distributed shortly.
