Apologies, readers, for the radio silence – Cricket hasn’t really been up there at the top of the agenda over recent months, not a clue why. We are in the process of preparing the pitch for some training sessions and hopefully by early July a few of us will be able to gather and reacquaint ourselves with long forgotten skills - some of us will need a very good memory.
Of course, we had a good spell of weather whilst we couldn’t play, so no doubt our release onto the field of play will coincide with thunderous showers! We still very much hope …

TMCC End of Season Report
26 October 2019 By
Incredibly another cricket season has been and gone, I’m not sure where time goes in Payhembury but it certainly seems to pass much quicker than in other places we’ve lived!
The season started and ended a bit damp but in between we have had some great games and probably lost a couple more than we won overall. Our successes have been finally gaining the right permissions to play cricket legally in the field, having a published author looking after the bar, a couple of very entertaining Gin Nights and our club Open Day coinciding with the …

TMCC News from July
20 July 2019 By
Avid readers of the parish mag will have noticed that we didn’t have a piece in last month’s edition, for which I can only apologise. Due to the poor weather and various opposition crying off we reached the end of June having played only seven games, of which, we won………..er………… um………none (although we did manage a tie on one occasion!) So nothing to shout about really.
However July has seen a much needed upturn in our fortunes in many ways. Firstly, Umpire John Somers has returned to fitness and is able to stand once more for us, lovely to …

As you know Ground Force Day is planned for next Sunday 14th at 10am. Firstly, we are aware that some will struggle to make it, and that the Chiefs are playing at 3pm. It seems sensible therefore to go with a 10am to 1pm session and then have a get together to finish off on the following

The key jobs are :
Plumbing (Si)
Rolling
Mowing Square
Mowing Outfield
Preparing nets
Rog’s bridge
Boundary netting
Benches (JP)
Track
Thanks, Jon …

A New Season at Tuck Mill
31 March 2019 By
As I type I’m looking out at the still highly illegal cricket field, brimming with ewes and lambs as they seem to think its breakfast time. You might at this point be thinking something along the lines of “why on earth doesn’t the old boy stop banging on about planning permission?” The answer is simple, by the beginning of last summer we had reached a position with EDDC whereby they were insistent that to play cricket legally in the field we needed a “Mixed Social and Sporting Use” Permission. By the end of the summer, in order to satisfy the …

Cricket Force Day 2019
7 March 2019 By
We will be holding Cricket Force Day on:
Sunday 14th April at 10am
The more that turn up to help the quicker the job will get done so we’d be very grateful of whatever time you can offer, please let know if you can make it and we can plan jobs accordingly.
We are still no further on with the planning permission, despite having put all the clubs savings into surveys and risk assessments. One day we might hear something.
With club funds down to zero and it being impossible to prepare the field without a roller, Jon has bought a ride on …
