Dear Playing Member
I hope you are all wintering well. Preparations for the 2023 season are well under way. The fixture list is taking shape, a supply of balls for the season has been acquired and we are working on a way to making buying club kit even easier for you!!
Before we finalise arrangements for 2023, Ben Wakeford has been working with Cricket Romania on a proposal for an end of season jaunt to Romania and he has asked to put out the following information to gauge interest. I hope this whets your appetite!!

Incogniti mini tours to exotic places to play cricket are back on the agenda after a pandemic enforced break.
We have been working with Cricket Romania to provide you with a fun filled weekend of competitive cricket at the Cricket Romania flagship facility - the Moara Vlasiei Cricket Ground, just outside of Bucharest (pictures attached)
We are proposing to take out a squad of about 14 players and as many guests, friends, family members that we can muster.
There will be two T20 games played on Saturday 30th Sept and a 40 over game on Sunday 1st October. We would plan to fly in to Bucharest on Friday 29th Sept and fly out on Monday 2nd Oct (but you can of course fly in earlier or out later if you want to see a bit of more of Romania/Bucharest).
There are flights from various London Airports, currently from about £75-150 GBP depending on where you fly from. Recommended hotel currently is the Ambassador Hotel, which is currently c.150 GBP.
https://www.booking.com/Share-ND3fI0b but you can of course stay where you want, and obviously if you room share this will reduce this cost on a personal basis.
As such, we are looking to keep the total to about £400 per person, to include air fares, hotel costs, the cost of the cricket and meals and drinks during play.
So, who's in? Respond ASAP to benwakeford@hotmail.co.uk.
As soon as we have interest from a viable tour party we can then go ahead and confirm tour details with both Cricket Romania and the tour party.
DON'T BOOK ANYTHING YET AS NOTHING IS YET CONFIRMED
