MCA Scoreboard Offer

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 13:40:00 GMT

Anyone who attended last season's A Grade Grand Final or the MCA dinner would have noticed the nifty portable scoreboard that Burnley CYMS brought along. It works with numbers on rollers that are operated from the side of the scoreboard. The pictures attached give you the general look, and updating the score is very easy. The scoreboard is mainly made of pressed metal. It can be easily carried by one person and fitted into a car.

If your club wishes to place an order, please let the MCA know by August 30th. Payment will be required to Tom Hickie by September 15th.

UMPIRES HELP SEND NATALIE ON HER WAY

Wed, 28 May 2008 01:56:00 GMT

The Umpires Association has come to the aid of a talented young cricketer to ensure she gets the opportunity to participate in the underage Interstate Carnival in Darwin.

Having heard of the plight of young Natalie Plane’s parents in being unable to afford the costs associated with Natalie being able to participate, Arthur Simpson and his Committee decided to start up a fund to get her to Darwin with a $300 donation.

The Umpires Association is pleased to see that with the generous support from her local school community the balance of the $1500 has been raised and Natalie is on her way.

POST SCRIPT - Natalie made it to Darwin and her Team won the Championship. She had a successful Carnival, taking 6 wickets and earning herself some well deserved medals.
