Shand's February Quiz question 2010
Q.
Who is this pictured with Mike Atherton during his epic 185 not out which saved the 2nd Test against South Africa in 1995?
If you know the answer just click below to email Shand. The answer together with the name of the correct entries will appear here next month.
I think I know the answer to Shand's February Quiz question
Last month Shand asked:
Q.Pictured is our Captain Dave Willey warming up for an EHCC match but which ground were we at?
I had plenty of correct answers to January's quiz question identifying that Dave Willey was pictured at Stokesley CC. Indeed Dave entered himself and after a couple of unsuccessful attempts, eventually came up with the correct answer. I also had correct entries from Eleanor Cleary, David Fawcett, Joe Gaudie, Tom Briddock, Alex Walls, Pete Mason, Bomber & Chris Ward.
Thanks to those of you who entered last month and please have a go at this months quiz question.

Wednesday 15 July - Under 14's County game
The club had the honour, last Friday, of hosting a county game, North Yorkshire Under 14's v Cleveland Under 14's.
It turned out a fine day, which repaid all the effort that so many had put into making the ground look it's best. Dave, Les, Phil, Wardy, Gary and myself for sprucing up the ground, a possy of females who bottomed the pavilion, AA for cleaning out the changing rooms last thing. A huge thanks to Mrs Gaudie, who slaved away all day in the kitchen, feeding the five thousand, and donating all the money taken, into three figures, to the club, enough to keep the mowers in petrol for a month, thanks Sue. Also thanks to Walter B who helped put everything away at the end of the day.
The teams were all there by 9.30am. and it was great to see all the kids out in the morning sun, doing warm ups and fielding practice, pity EHCC under 15's team weren't there to watch! The 50 over game was started at 11.00, on the dot, by the two professional umpires, who had to forgo the umpires changing room, for Mrs Gaudie's tearoom! At this point I had to return to work, only returning just after the match had finished, and the crowds were drifting away. The umpires were thankful for the excellent pitch and the lack of sightscreens, only adversely commenting on the a lack of covers, which might have prevented an early dew dampened wicket being quite so lively, we wish!!!
Although North Yorshire lost, we were asked if we would host another game next year, and from those workers I've talked to, we would be only too happy to do so.
Thanks again to all those who helped.

Many congratulations to ex Harlsey player Simon Hodgson and Laura on the birth of Aidan Deighton yesterday at 3.08 pm. He arrived exactly on the due date and weighed in at 7lb 9oz. Mother, baby and an excited father are all doing well (not sure about the grandfather though!)
Wednesday 29 April -
New Net Completion
As the rain falls, it can only be a matter of time before the surroundings to the new net are green over with a flush of newly germinated grass, and at that point, we can truly say that the job is done.
So it is an opportune time to thank those responsible for turning, a fleeting idea, into a reality.
Gary & Dave were the motivators who set this whole thing in motion, Gary being the really clever one by making for the ski slopes while the work was actually being done! Dave was left to mind the project, cajoling myself, and Pete M, into filling in forms for grants and organizing an appeal for donations.
This appeal, after a slow start, had more support than we could possibly have hoped for. The following is a list of all those who made financial donations towards the new net. Thank you very, very much.

We received grants from, Hambleton District Sports Council, Grassroots Grants, the Office of the Third Sector, the Community Development Foundation, Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust and York & North Yorkshire Community Foundation. We are also hoping to be supported by the ECB Small Grants scheme.
It is all too easy to say we could not have completed the building of these nets without the above, as it is true, but that would be overlooking the biggest single contributing factor, which was all the 'hands on' work done by our own club members, digging, mixing, erecting, surveying, landscaping, mat laying, net hanging, the list goes on. To all these, our thanks as well.
Also for their help:-
Terry & Andrew Bell, who graced us with the mechanical necessities for the job, and for convincing us to take the correct decisions on the concreting front.
Nigel Keen for the lend of his generator.
Vic Wood for generous discounts on numerous materials.
Last, but not least, Sue Gaudie, who kept the worker's energy levels topped up with Stamfrey Farm cream teas.
The completed nets are in almost daily use and are a huge plus for the club. They have already transformed junior practice nights, keeping the adults at bay while they practice, being the only drawback.
On behalf of the club, again, a big thank you.

Saturday 28 February -
Pre Season Ground Preparation
In anticipation of a start on the new all weather net, we have repaired the entrance to the field, it had become a muddy morass from visiting dog walkers cars, we suspect. With a combination of, rough stone supplied by DJTW, some finer stuff already purchased for the new net, and a few shovels, the entrance was soon given a spruce up, and should hopefully provide a smoother get in for all those lowered cars our players are purchasing these days! Click here to see the before and after photos.
Weather permitting, next Saturday should see the digging out and hard coring of the new net, so please keep a close eye on the web site for further information, we must have plenty of hands to lighten the load.
