Bugbrooke Cricket Club John Mundy: Chairman 830725 (H,B&FAX) 07850–084535 (M) This year is the 60th Anniversary of our Club playing
at the Camp Hill Farm Ground, the
first matches being played here in 1948.
Before that we used to play in a field belonging to the Adams
family off the Heyford Road by the brook where the first job was always
to clear the cattle muck from the outfield before the game could begin!
We have 2 Saturday League teams this season with the 1st playing in
League 6 and the 2nd in League 12. A
lot of work is being done on our ground and pavilion – come and have a
look! We have friendly
matches every Sunday until the end of September with midweek matches
also. If you wish to be involved with Junior Cricket contact Roger Stone
(01604–842961), this year we have matches against other clubs for
Under 11’s, 12’s & 15’s. Evening practices
for Juniors will be held every Monday @ 6pm during the season at our
ground – just turn up. We have been getting around 30 every
time. If you wish to join a progressive club at its picturesque
ground by the brook get in touch with any of the officers or myself.
We have a well stocked bar which is open most days during the summer
where Tony Bird will always give you a good welcome!
Have a look at our website www.bugbrooke.play-cricket.com
for future fixtures, results
and scorecards for all our
matches. On Monday 25 August we are holding our Annual Club Over 30s v Under 30s
match for the Jack Dawson Shield at which Jack’s wife June will be the
Guest of Honour. On this day lunch will be served for Friends and
Vice Presidents of the Club, please get in touch with me if you would
like to be present for the meal. Peter White (President) 50 High Street, Bugbrooke (830452 H. B & FAX )

Today I was
officially announced alongside Tim, Will, Alistair and Helen as a member
of Team GB for the 2008 Olympic Games! I can't describe my excitement or
the size of the big cheesy grin that has been on my face all day! So plans from now to the Games– · I
head out to France a week today to race in Beauvais French Grand Prix,
sprint distance, it will be my first time racing for my new club,
Beauvais, so I'm really looking forward to my weekend there! · From
France I head straight to Spain for a heat camp along with a few of the
other Olympic guys. It will be good to get some miles in on the bike and
run in the sunshine! I also like going to different places and training.
Mark McKay, who helps with bike coaching for British Triathlon, is
coming out too and we always have fun riding together! Tales of gravel
path, downhill adventures and cafe stops will always stay in my memory
bank! · I'm
then back home for a few days spending some time in Loughborough and
training in the pool with my club back in Northampton. · Wales
is my next stop. I plan to race the Corus Elite race in Bryn Bach Park,
it's also the British National Olympic Distance Champs. It's meant to be
a pretty tough bike course – which I always like! So I'm looking
forward to heading to the valleys for that! · One
night back home and then it's off to Korea for our pre-Olympic camp!
We've chosen to prepare in Jeju. Tim and I were there back in April so
we already have an idea of what the island is like and know what to
expect when we arrive. We'll fly into Beijing into the Athletes Village
on the 14th August, the day I get my A level results and four days
before the Women's Triathlon (Monday 18th). It's going to be such an exciting summer! I'm really looking forward to
training hard, moving on with my development, travelling to new places,
racing and most of all – being part of Team GB 2008. Thanks to those who believed I
could do it and helped to get me to where I am today. July 08 A Quick Hello from Spain! I'm trying to get early nights
whilst out here in Spain. I'm looking to do a good block of training so
sleep is very important. I was over the moon with my result at the
Beauvais French Grand Prix triathlon at the weekend. I crossed the line
joint first with my Beauvais team mate Andrea Hewitt, as we ran the last
800m together. I was pleased with how the race went too. I came out in
the front bunch out of the water, having a super quick start! I broke
away on the bike along with Andrea Hewitt and put in a hard 20km. I then
gave it my all on the 5km run! It was great fun doing a sprint distance
again! I'm now in southern Spain on a training camp! It's
hot hot hot but that's what we need and that's what we like! July 16 Hola! We've been in Spain for nine days now. The conditions
and training provisions have been perfect, temperatures up to 42
degrees, lots of hills to ride and great off road running!
Training has been going well across all three disciplines. Read about the
Olympics next time.
