MCC News - 2008 season
General news
The Moon and Sixpence pub in the Hollywood district has been chosen as the official pub for season 2008. We will be having bi-weekly gatherings on Thursday nights prior to the season starting. Post games gatherings will be held here each week also. More information will come out as the next date approaches.Dues for season 2008 will be $100. This is an increase from 2007 but reflects the increase in fees for 2008 for the John Deere field rental. These fees do include ball fees for 2008. Our fees are still easily the lowest in the League.
- If you intend to play League cricket - full fees are due
- If you intend only to play social games (see information below) the fees are reduced to $40.
Please purchase whites for the season this year...the league will apparently be instituting a whites mandatory rule for all games this season.
CODE OF CONDUCT . There was unanimous sentiment expressed for a much stronger stance against poor conduct this year. We are not developing an exhaustive list of infractions...rather it was decided that the Club president, captain and vice captain will be responsible for making sure that things are done the right way...put simply - if you use bad language in anger, in the presence of women and children, dispute umpires decisions or display poor sportsmanship towards other players...please EXPECT TO BE SUSPENDED for games this year. The boys would like to see MCC take the lead in being a positive, respectful and friendly club where all are welcome at all times. Please also understand that this does not mean the elimination of playful banter between players. If you drop catches, score ducks or otherwise make a fool of yourself at any time..you will get a bagging just as in years past..we just need to be mindful of the diverse cultures and personalities at the club and be aware of the boundaries.
