Thoughts and Prayers With Simon

Simon Hood is undergoing spinal surgery on Thursday, August 12 at Westmead Private Hospital. He hopes to be back on deck soon, but he would value your thoughts and prayers.

Simon is a dedicated clubman who eats and breathes cricket through a City United filter. Players and officials wish Simon all the best on a speedy recovery and we all look forward to seeing him buzzing about the grounds before Christmas.

Tale of Two Cities 2

A small group of City Supporters and players had an enjoyable evening at the new Sponsors, Tamworth City Bowling Club, on Friday night.

We got there about 5 pm to receive a warm welcome from TCBC President Rob Key. After completing our membership details (just $5 for a social member) we talked cricket until purchasing our chances in the very generous meat tray raffle which saw Lang pick up the first draw of thirty.

By the time we'd had an enjoyable few hours which included 30 minutes in the dark when the area was blacked out, we all sat down for dinner from the Parkview restaurant. The four of us who had stayed for dinner all had a different course from a menu that is quite varied. The food was nice, drinks are cheap, the staff and other members very friendly and the time spent in the club very pleasant.

We all left convinced this will be a great move for City United.

How about we get into the habit of meeting for a few beers after work on Friday. Let's call it the City Hour.

Stay in touch with the website for news of our Registration Day which be held at the club and will include bare foot bowls and a BBQ during the second half of August.

What's in a name? City by any other name would smell as sweet?

President Terry Skewes would like to bring the Club nickname competition to a head so club members are advised that they have until the next meeting to put forward suggestions. Further, they should have a critical look over the list as three of the suggestions will be selected by the meeting to be placed on the website for a poll to determine the winner.

So add your suggestion by all means but make sure you have a good look through the list so you will be prepared to whittle the list down to three at the next meeting.

Club Identity Competition

A Tale of Two Cities

City United Cricket Club is pleased to announce a new major sponsor which now becomes our home in Tamworth. The Tamworth City Bowling Club have agreed to provide the club with wonderful facilities up on Napier St, at the top end on Anzac Park, in return for our patronage and exclusive use of their club for our social gatherings.

For City United members, the City Bowling Club has a very pleasant BBQ area which will be available every competition day for us to gather and recount the events of the afternoon. They also have an excellent restaurant which will cater for all tastes and will provide tucker for those after game Saturdays when we don't operate the BBQ. Our players, of all ages, will be welcome to sit inside as well, where there will be plenty of space for us to be one group. Downstairs there is a meeting room which is available for those more structured gatherings and space is available for the display of trophies and memorabilia. Our scores and even action photos will be placed on the in-house TV display system.

This means a return to weekly get togethers, plays of the day and the good times to be had when mates can meet together.

This is a great step forward for your club. Show your support for the decision by attending our next meeting, to be held at the Tamworth City Bowling Club on Tuesday night, 27th July from 6:30pm. Executive members (office bearers) are asked to be there by 6:00pm for an Executive meeting before the general meeting.
