Howzat Travel Charity Cricket Day – Sunday 18th July 2010,

Egerton Park Cricket Club, Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire

Including the Grand Opening of the new ‘ClubTurf’ artificial pitch

Howzat Travel, the proud sponsors of Egerton Park Cricket Club (EPCC) would like to invite you to our inaugural Howzat Travel Charity Cricket Day. Starting at 1.00pm, we will be dedicating the proceeds of the day, including the money raised by the raffle, to our chosen beneficiaries; the Lords Taverners and Egerton Park Cricket Club.

EPCC will also be officially opening its new state-of-the-art ‘ClubTurf’ artificial pitch, which was won in a competition in Wisden Cricketer Magazine.

A few words from the Chairman of EPCC;

EPCC has recently been named the winner of a one-off Widen Cricketer magazine competition to have a ClubTurf artificial wicket installed on the main square. Club captain Richard Haffenden's entry was judged the winner of the new £9,000 playing surface. To mark the achievement, the club is holding an ‘Opening Ceremony’ on Sunday 18th July. The first ball will be bowled by Derek Underwood MBE and MD of ClubTurf Ltd. This will be followed by a charity cricket match on the wicket between an EPCC Chairman's Xl and a team brought together by our main sponsor - Howzat Travel Limited of Burrough-on-the-Hill.

The event will start at 1:00pm with the ‘Opening Ceremony’ at 2:00p.m. There will be a BBQ and a 25-over match, with the bar open during proceedings. Howzat Travel has organised a prize draw which will include signed shirts and cricket memorabilia, plus a ‘Super Draw’ prize for two people to spend a full hospitality day at Trent Bridge on the Saturday of the England v Pakistan Test Match on Saturday July 31st.

As well as Derek Underwood, there will be representation from ClubTurf, who can answer questions on the installation of their wickets. We will also have press coverage of the event, which will feature locally and in the Wisden Cricketer magazine. In addition, Jonathan Agnew - EPCC Club President, and Tim Munton - who played for us during his formative years, will be present.

I look forward to seeing you on the day.
