Changes to ECB Laws for Cricket

There are significant changes to the Laws of Cricket when the 2000 laws were revised. All players should be aware of these.

The club's policy will be to continue to play in the spirit of the game.

Opposition teams will be made aware of this before each game and the general consensus across clubs in the county is not to impose the 5 penalty run laws at our level of play.

Presidents Day 2004

Ferring CC hosted a match for the first time against the Royal Opera House on Sunday 25th July 2004.

Unfortunately, due to an accident on the A24, where several of the opposition players were heading from, the match started 90 minutes late, with lunch being taken before a ball had been bowled.

The Royal Opera House won the toss, and put Ferring into bat. We opened with Clive Bryant and Ben Miller who went on to make his maiden 50, being sixth man out with his score on 53. Ferring finished on Ferring ended on 205-8.

Ferring CC's Chris Paterson bowled well and extremely fast. Early in his spell he took two wickets in consecutive balls, just failing to take the hat trick. Tim Miller also took two wickets, as did Man of the match Ben Miller. The visitors ended up 174-8, with Chairman Bill Isham, taking a wicket with the final ball of the match.

So an honourable draw, which both teams enjoyed the match and the Opera House Team have expressed an interest in coming back next year and will be warmly welcomed.

2007 Committee

The committee line-up for the 2007 Season is here

Committee meetings are held approximately monthly, if you have any questions or items to raise in committee concerning the Club, please let a member of the committee know.

WINTER NETS - 2008

These will be held again at Arundel Castle Academy in February and April 2008 - details from the committee. Here are some pictures from the 2007 nets:

Pre-season Nets were arranged for winter 2006/2007 at Arundel Castle Cricket academy .

Sessions were between 1930 and 2100hrs on Tuesdays during March and April 2007

We are looking at running these again over the winter 2007/2008 as they proved to be very popular and more that covered the costs.

Please contact the committee for more details.

JUMBLE SALE - March 2007

This was held on Saturday 10th March 2007 at Ferring Village Hall. We were reliant upon support before and on the day by club members and the local community - so thanks to everyone for a very successful event.

We had much more publicity (the advertisement in the local paper was donated this year) and better leaflet distribution. We also had far more good quality jumble than last year and made a good profit.

2007 Fixtures

We had a full fixture card for the 2007 season with several new fixtures (including three visiting touring teams). The three blank Saturday fixtures were eventually fill by home matches via the Fixture Bureau.

We also had another enjoyable match on Sat 4th Aug against Arundel Castle Estate (now renamed Arundel Grasshoppers) at Arundel Castle .

Unfortunately the annual Presidents day match on Sunday 29th July 2007 against the Royal Opera House XI did not take place because tragically the Opera House match secretary had recently died.

It is hoped to resume the fixture next year, however for 2007 a match was arranged between the Sunday XII and a Presidents XII which was enjoyed by all.

All the fixtures are listed on the fixtures page with results.

Presidents Day 2005/6

Reports and pictures will appear here soon.

2007 A G M

This took place on Sunday 10am, 28th Jan 2007 at the Henty Arms.

All Members were encouraged to attend and focus was on fund raising to make the club viable into the future.

Summary of the 2006 AGM:

The attendance by members was down on last year however the following agenda was followed:

1. Minutes of 2005 AGM were reviewed and agreed to be accurate.

2. Matters arising from the minutes. A couple of observations were made by the Chairman and will be considered in future committee meetings.

3. Chairman's report, Ian Edwards gave a summary of the year and the achievement on and off of the field. In particular he reflected on the constitution which although adequate, did appear to be inconsistent in places. It was felt that it was worthy of review in committee meetings over the next year with any proposals brought to the next AGM.

4. Treasurer's Report. Terry provided a copy of the 2005 account and answered members questions. The Club appears to be in a solid financial position and is unchanged in effect from last year. There was proposal to raise the opposition teas changed for home games from £30 to £35 for the 2006 season, this proposal was voted on and agreed unanimously. All other fees and subscriptions remain unchanged.

5. Captains Reports. Both Greg and Mike gave their review of games and outstanding performances during the year and the good spirit and teamwork that has been built up over the last few years.

6. Election of Officers: (President Alan Francis)

Chairman: Ian Edwards, Secretary: Chris Harris, Treasurer: Terry Cutler, Match Secretary: Peter Bromley. Team Secretaries: Mike Lewis (April), Chris Dolby (May), Ian Edwards (June), Rob Miller (July), Greg Dean (Aug), Mike Lewis (Sept). Sat Captain: Mike Lewis, vice Capt: Dave Bailey, Sun Captain: Greg Dean, Vice Capt: Peter Cooke. Committee members: Officers of the club plus Fay Westbrook, Ivan Salter.

Other Posts: Groundsman: Peter Bromley, Press Secretary: Rob Miller.

7. Fund Raising: Various initiatives would be continued after their success in the 2005 season, including the buy.at web site, the 60 club, jumble sale, numbers competition and raffles. Ian Edwards has a Football world Cup 2006 competition ready to run in the first half of the season and Mike Lewis has a Scratch Card competition to try out.

8. Cricket and Ground: Peter Bromley distributed the 2005 statistics and the provisional 2006 fixtures. He thanked members for their support on groundwork and reported yet another successful season with no cancelled home games. He in particular pointed out the success of the presidents match at the end of June in-spite of the square being waterlogged at 10am the match took place by 2pm with Dave Bailey scoring his highest score of the season (142).The Cricketforce weekend in early April was another success with work on the pavilion and ground well supported. This will hopefully be repeated on 8/9th April 2006.

Chris Harris also mentioned the possibility of indoor nets at St Andrews' school which are still to be confirmed as there appears to be sufficient interest.

9. AOB, The new committee held a short meeting to discuss the planning of the forthcoming Jumble sale on 4th March.

The meeting closed at midday
