A glimpse of the new season?

Hello <<Voornaam>>,

Like young foals in spring.That's how it is best described, the feeling that I got when I noticed the eagerness to get going again when the ice disappeared and the sun came out. Suddenly a three-day clinic was organised attended by 40+kids, seniors want to start training, the municipality is delivering the long promised new barn and the first cut, feed and overseed was done by the ground staff.

It seems we can't wait for the cricket season to start. And after half a season last year, two months of lockdown and a curfew that is hardly surprising. KNCB and NOC*NSF are carefully monitoring what is possible or how we can make things possible. With all our members and followers we whole-heartedly hope that the vaccination campaign in combination with the rising temperatures will make it possible to play what comes close to a normal season. Preparation is in full swing and I'd like to share some observations that are a proof for me that VCC is a vibrant community that has a strong appeal to members and followers:

  • ChicKing, a fastfood restaurant will act as the name sponsor for the coming three seasons of what was formerly known as the Muntaz T20 Cup
  • Logan van Beek will strengthen the VCC 1 side this season
  • The curator course organised by ICC Europe is attended by 13 VCC aspiring groundsmen
  • VCC 1 got a nomination as best sport team of Leidschendam-Voorburg (Vliet Awards)
  • We will have a dedicated Level 1 coaching course organised by the KNCB for some 20 coaches that are keen to coach kids to play cricket
What wonderful signs of our love of the game. A love that is also demonstrated by Piet Mieras who diligently has worked his way through many, many annual reports scanning each single page. With three more to go we can almost say that 89 years of VCC history have now been digitalised. Browsing through these reports I'd like to cite Ab Pfeiffer who wrote about the season 1945 
"1945
The year of Freedom! We could not play a regular league yet. But that was not necessary. It was such a joy to be able to play cricket freeely, without the fear of raids, air raid sirens and shelling."

Yes, there may be a similar hunger after the game and no, suffering in one situation or the other should not be compared, But with these words in mind, I'm sure we will even more realise what we have and can cherish even in this Corona situation. Let's act responsible towards the time we can play and/or watch our favourite game again freely!

Take care and stay healthy,
Richard de Lange, Vice chairman Board VCC

Tuesday March 30, 8 pm GMM (expect an online meeting)

Bar committee

The bar committee is a next target to populate with enthusiastic members, who have a feel for hospitality, food&beverages, events, etc. Our club house is the heart of the VCC community and is a place that nees to be looked after. We have had some responses on a previous call and who are the men and women that will complete the team? This is not about doing a bar shift (we have teams doing that), but about managing the bar. Come forward, send an email to barcommissie@voorburgcc.nl and make our club house an even better place to be! 

No Junior indoor practice, we will go outdoors soon 

Indoor practice will not take place, we go outdoors as soon as possible. Last week we had a clinic for three days already and after some maintenance of the net we hope to be ready to practice as soon as possible.

Membership fees

A reminder: in March we will take the membership fee from your account. Please make sure you have enough budget on your account. If you foresee difficulties or want to pay in installments, please contact our treasurer via penningmeester@voorburgcc.nl in advance to find a solution.
Clinics
Do you know a company that wants a staff or company outing, brainstorming, breakout or team building session? But then "different", stylish, active and really fun? Consider a cricket clinic at the beautiful accommodation of Voorburg CC. For more information contact pr@voorburgcc.nl
Join VCC?
VCC is still growing and we want to continue to grow in particular in our junior section. With a dozen juniors moving up to the seniors, we're now just below 100 juniors again, and we want to to grow this steadily, so in the end we have in each age category at least two teams.
Are you interested? Or do you want to follow a trial practice? Send an email to jeugdcommissie!
