Dear Parents and Kids,

Thank you for taking interest in the cricket demonstration hosted by the Brandon Cricket Club on October 18th at the Westman Place. We thoroughly enjoyed your company in teaching you how the concept of cricket is played. Unfortunately we regret to inform you due to financial constraints within the sport in the Westman region, the Brandon Cricket Club will not be able to coach any children under the age of 13 at this time.

If you're over the age 13, we look forward to hearing from you as we will be conducting coaching sessions beginning in November 1st, where you will be gradually moved into the adult team after sufficient practice. If you're an adult, you're more than welcome to join our team - new or experienced. We will conduct seperate practice sessions for new adults. Please email us at contact@brandoncricket.com

We plan to continue the cricket program in the summer (outdoors) where we will be able to accommodate children 12 years and under.

Once again, we apologize for this inconvenience. Please do not be too discouraged. Cricket is the second largest sport is making its impact in the Westman community. Children are the future, and we wish to help them very soon.

Regards,
Brandon Cricket Club

Thank you to those of you who helped make the cricket booth/demonstration a success at the Westman place on October 18th. We had a great turnout with kids from all ages attempting a try at batting and bowling. We even had some parents have a go!!

We couldn’t have made this information session a success without all you people. We hope that you found the cricket hands on demonstration informative, and interesting. If you have any questions or concerns about anything presented at this year’s event, please email us at contact@brandoncricket.com

We would also like to send out a special thank you to Leanne Traynor and the team at Sport Manitoba. It was a pleasure attending such a wonderful event and we look forward in working with you in the near future.

Cheers,
Brandon Cricket Club
