Thanks to all from WCC who attended this event last evening and kicked off Arul’s benefit year in style.

Around one hundred people all told enjoyed a meal, a Q and A with Adam Dibble, James Hildreth, Arul himself and Jack Leach and an auction and raffle at The Rajpoot Restaurant in Taunton and we were represented by Tony Rudd, Roy Hutchings, Duncan Short, Mark Saunders, David Derrick, Simon Rudd, Amanda Moysey, Rob Moysey, Ian Hewson, Alex Sparks and Adrian Lee.

Arul paid a personal visit to the WCC table and noted that we were the first Club he played for in the UK.

On the auction we secured a framed, signed picture of Marcus Trescothick in his England ODI kit and this will be added to our new Clubhouse when it is ready later this year.

Thanks to all who attended and made this a special night for Arul and it is hoped to take in other events as his benefit progresses.

We meet outside of the Old Post Office in Wellington Town Centre for a 6.25pm bus ride to the Castle Green Inn for a swift pint before making our way to the Rajpoot Restaurant for our evening engagement.

See you all on Thursday evening.

Some WCC members enjoyed a social evening on Easter Saturday at the Victoria Arms when an informal skittles match provided the entertainment.

For the record Kevin Crout won the event; thanks go to Simon Rudd for organising the event and to Brad Rowlandson for sticking up.

A curry was then enjoyed by some who had skittled.

Games start on Saturday 13th April, so get selecting now!

Kevin Crout is once again in charge of this item.

Thatcher’s Cider – sponsors of WCC – are inviting the Club to play a 20/20 game against one of their breweries in Bridport on Tuesday 4th June from 6.00pm; Mark Saunders has been approached initially in this respect and all are asked to consider their availability for this event.

This will be a good chance to support one of WCC’s main sponsors and is a good social opportunity too.

More details to follow.

Despite the weather seeing that WRFC 1st XV’s game with Truro was postponed yesterday we still enjoyed an excellent lunch and social event when our close sporting colleagues held their Supporters Lunch event yesterday.

A table of ten from WCC enjoyed a two course meal and spoke on the current state and aspirations of both Clubs as one season ends and another one looks to begin.

WCC will be reciprocating by inviting WRFC to tea at a home Saturday game this season and there are other chances to meet socially as well in 2013 such as the WCC PPA and their diary of events, the Inter Club 20/20 event on the Bank Holiday Sunday in August and October’s combined Golf Day.

The links between the two Clubs are very strong and this event underlines this being the case.

So far the following WCC members will be attending WRFC for lunch and 1st XV match action on Saturday 23rd March (12.30pm lunch and 2.30pm kick off)

We have nine confirmed and can cater for another nine, so if you wish to come to this event then please contact David Derrick (david230275@googlemail.com) by Saturday 16th March at the very latest; after this date our confirmed number will be sent to WRFC for them to work with.
