2021 Annual General Meeting.
Haddington Cricket Club held their first ever virtual Annual General Meeting, due to the coronavirus pandemic. The night was tremendously optimistic, well attended, and complimented by a quiz, in tribute to the first anniversary of questionable Zoom quizzes. Andy Bell took first prize, answering questions on the worst Test bowling averages of all time (step forwards Naeem Islam & Kevin Pietersen), coffee growing regions, and Haddington pubs.
The outcome is that the committee will be made up as follows, with a new addition of Mr Bell as Junior Convenor / Protection Officer, as the club look to re-establish a junior cricket team for East Lothian. We’ll be in touch for willing volunteers.
1xt XI Captain - Scott Logan
1st XI VC & T20 Captain - Peter Borrowman
Secretary - Alan Cruickshank
Apprentice Treasurer - Fergus Syme
(Very) Ordinary Member - Tim Blades

Following some Cricket Scotland updates last week, and excellent work by the people at East of Scotland Cricket Association, we are delighted to announce we are returning to 11-a-side cricket, hopefully as soon as Saturday 26th July. This will take the form of intra-club (internal squad games) until early August.
Depending on numbers, we will run 8-a-side cricket or similar on midweek evenings or have net based training. Please join our Facebook group for regular updates & to indicate participation.
It’s great to be bringing sport back to Haddington, and be part of cricket in East Lothian, as we look forward to fixtures with Tranent & Preston Village, Musselburgh & Dunbar (potentially Bass Rock too).
