New Milton Christmas Festival

Ever since the rain which lead to the cancellation of the Family Fun Day on August Bank Holiday Monday, there has been a plan afoot... namely to utilise the hard work and many donations that went into the preparation of the Fun Day, and bring in some funds - albeit not on the scale that the Fun Day would have produced, but funds nonetheless.

Phase 1 was to ensure that vouchers and raffle prizes with "sell-by" dates were put to good use. I'm pleased to report that the raffle at the recent Senior Club presentation evening was successful, and several member will now be enjoying trips out, and hampers full of goodies!

Phase 2 was to ensure that the Junior Tombola was put to good use. So a merry band of workers set up stall in the New Milton Christmas festival market, with photos promoting the Junior club and its achievements, the junior tombola, the senior tombola, various craft items, and the coconuts ( un-used from the coconut shy!)

It was a LONG day, but I'm pleased to report that we took £ 159.00 on the Junior Tombola alone.... so thank you to all the Juniors who filled the plastic cups with goodies last summer and brought them in for Fun Day. The senior tombola and the craft also did well, and the coconuts sold like hot cakes !

A big thank you to the Junior members who came and helped with the Junior Tombola at the market : The Andersons, Sarah and Rosie, Oli & Hannah Crutch, Seb Wright, Adam Newland and Sam Presland. Well done to Tom & Jack Harris, who really had no choice but to spend the whole today helping ! A superb team effort to ensure that your tombola donations did not go to waste

Phase 3 of the Fun Day "rescue mission" will follow in the Spring time. Watch this space......

Indoor League Season

It may be the 'quiet season' for cricket generally, but Bashley have 2 teams competing in the Dorset Indoor League matches at Hurn Cricket Centre, and quietly doing rather well so far ! The Bashley Girls squad, AKA the Bashley Bandits, and an U12 squad comprising of players from Bashley, Sway and Lymington have both played 2, won 2 so far...

Well done guys and girls, keep up the good work. And thanks to Graham and Steve for organising these squads.

Pop over to the Girls page and the Match Reports page to catch up on the action

Fun Day Cancelled

Thank you to everyone who has helped with the planning, organising, baked cakes, made items to sell, donated prizes, volunteered to help etc etc  but I'm afraid "Mother Nature" has defeated our best efforts to get the Fund Day & Car Boot on.

 

THEY ARE BOTH CANCELLED.

BASHLEY BANDITS HAVE DONE IT AGAIN!!

 

Bashley Bandits have played Lymington Girls tonight.

It was a crazy pairs match with 6 pairs playing 18 overs!

 

Everyone batted and bowled, giving new and inexperienced girls on both teams the chance to play and it was a great, evenly matched, good spirited game. Match report to follow.

 

Bashley 269 for 3, Lymington 240 for 7

 

Well done Bandits! Four wins in a row!

 

Bashley U11s and U15s....

Another good weekend for the U11s and U15s.
Both u11 teams were in action at home again in glorious sunshine.

U15s, minus some of their key regulars, record another resounding success and remain unbeaten in their league matches this season... well done guys and girls !
