<strong>Tour</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>England</strong> 1995 5<br />

Foreword<br />

The <strong>Weston</strong> <strong>Creek</strong> <strong>Cricket</strong> <strong>Club</strong> is<br />

only 22 years old, but is now<br />

embarking on its fourth tour <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>England</strong>. That is a sign <strong>of</strong> foresight<br />

and commitment, and a real love for<br />

cricket in the <strong>Club</strong>.<br />

John Bowdler<br />

President, WCCC<br />

I am sure that the 1995 tourists will<br />

acquit themselves well, on and <strong>of</strong>f the<br />

field. In fact, it's very hard to<br />

determine which way the balance falls<br />

between on-field and <strong>of</strong>f-field skills -<br />

there is a high level <strong>of</strong> cricketing<br />

ability in the party, but there are<br />

also some formidable clubhouse<br />

performers.<br />

The tours <strong>of</strong> <strong>England</strong> have become an important part <strong>of</strong> the<br />

development <strong>of</strong> <strong>Weston</strong> <strong>Creek</strong> cricket. They have given many <strong>of</strong> our<br />

members a taste <strong>of</strong> touring life, <strong>of</strong> differing cricketing conditions, and <strong>of</strong><br />

new opponents. The tours have seen a number <strong>of</strong> our young cricketers<br />

gain considerably in experience and confidence, and have also contributed<br />

in no small way to <strong>Club</strong> comradeship and spirit.<br />

I am sure the 1995 <strong>Tour</strong> will be no exception. We look forward to<br />

welcoming the tourists back for the 1995-96 season, where I am sure their<br />

experiences will be heard by very eager ears, and some <strong>of</strong> these tales will<br />

become part <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Club</strong>'s folklore. Of course, we will also be expecting<br />

more runs and wickets as they show us the benefit <strong>of</strong> their "winter away".<br />

On behalf <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Club</strong>, I would like to thank the many hosts who have<br />

agreed to play fixtures or otherwise look after our party. Your support<br />

and hospitality are wonderful gestures and I hope that you too gain from<br />

having the <strong>Weston</strong> <strong>Creek</strong> tourists at your <strong>Club</strong>. Most <strong>of</strong> all, I trust that<br />

the cricket will be competitive and enjoyable. We would like to see you in
