Month: August 2015

Perseid meteor shower 11th/12th August 2015

Our Triangle magazine’s Pink Pages have flagged up that tonight and tomorrow night give the best chance of seeing the spectacle.

So we pass on guidance from yesterday’s Independent:-

“Sitting outside and looking up is the best way to see them.”

You’re welcome.

Cricket Cup Final – Friday 7th August 2015 at 6.15 pm

Cricket Cup Final at Slingsby Sports Field on Friday 7th August 2015 at 6.15 p.m.

Slingsby are playing Fadmoor at home in a final of the Feversham Supplementary Cup.

Can we carry off the Cup? Who will be Man of the Match?

The Gazette and Herald praised our Club this week for playing all their matches in the Feversham League, even when they could not bring a full team .

The Supplementary Cup allows only 3 overs for each bowler in an 18 overs per side match, and batsmen have to retire after scoring 25 runs.

The idea behind it is to give greater opportunities for players who are rarely involved in batting or bowling in normal Evening League cricket.

Good luck to our team!

 

 

 

Tennis open sessions – August 2015 – Tuesdays at 7 pm

 

Slingsby Tennis court open sessions August 2015 -Tuesdays at 7 p.m.

Geoff Bishop writes:-

It is good to report that the tennis courts are being used by young and old and it has been decided to make Tuesdays at 7pm an open time when anyone can come and join in the fun on a challenging surface! So if you are someone who hasn’t played for years but would love to start again, this is for you! Any standard welcome.

You are, of course, free to play at any time on any day. See you there!

(We understand the sessions will continue through August and maybe longer, depending on weather and light conditions)
