posted by John Winn

Most pcws' diaries are full at this time of the year but if you are seeking something a little different or travelling in England over the next few weeks some of these matches may be of interest.

Tony Hutton has emailed me details of Millfields (London) tour of the Esk Valley which begins on Sunday

Sunday 27th v Lealholm   Monday 28th Grosmont Tuesday 29th Kildale Wednesday 30th Great Ayton  Thursday 31st Westerdale   Friday 1st August Glaisdale

The Lealholm fixture has a two o'clock start and it is expected that the other matches will be half day too, but best to check first.

ICC Tournaments:as mentioned in previous postings there are a number of icc competitions taking place in July and August

The venues are University of Essex, Kelvedon and Feering CC, Colchester CC, Halstead CC, Frinton on Sea, Coggeshall CC, and Mistley CC.
