The major auction item for the 2010 Quiz Night was for a backyard makeover headed up by Brett Lawson of Climate Change Landscape & Project Management and Justin “JC” Calderbank.

Through the very generous donations by the sponsors below, the auction raised over $3,500 at the auction with a number of bidders all vying for the prize with Deb & Glen Rosie being victorious.

Over the course of a few weekends, Deb & Glen’s backyard has gone from “we think there’s a backyard there somewhere” to “that’s a place you’d want to spend a lot of time in”.

Before...

After...

Players from the club put in the hard yards to make it happen, they being Brett Lawson; Justin Calderbank; Matt Smith; Damian Allen; Martin Wagner; Josh Haussen and Sam Davenport.

Without sponsors, things like this don’t happen. Please make every effort to use their services/products if you can and mention the cricket club. Hopefully the club can do this annually but we need people’s support.

Climate Change Landscape & Project Management
Brett Lawson managed the entire project, organised all the items and designed the new landscape. Brett put in a huge effort to make this happen. If you need landscaping work done – look no further. Deb & Glen couldn’t be happier.

After the conclusion of each season, the senior and junior players wrapped up their season in separate presentation ceremonies. At these ceremonies, various awards, trophies and certificates were presented to individuals within the club.

As part of the ongoing tradition, all players and supporters present at these ceremonies received a copy of the end-of-season magazine, ‘The Declaration’. In addition, most first year senior players who were not in attendance on the night and those who requested copies were also delivered or posted copies, but at a later date. If you would like a higher quality printed or PDF copy of either magazine, then please contact Ashley through the the details provided on the contacts page.

Additionally, these magazines can also be downloaded from the club website. At the moment, the link to these magazines can be found below -

In the near future, these links will be moved once all of the club’s previous magazines are uploaded, but further details will follow regarding this. In addition, photos from these ceremonies will be uploaded shortly and a link to them will be posted once this has been achieved. These should be online before the start of next week (10/5). If you have any photos of these ceremonies that you would like to put on the club’s website, then please email them to Ashley at your earliest convenience.

If you have any other questions regarding these magazines or the presentation ceremonies, then please feel free to contact Matthew, Jarrad or Ashley through any of the means listed on the contacts page.
