Supporting our NatWest Cricket Force Weekends

Big Turnout Required

Dave Smith has been busy with his clipboard around ground and pavilion establishing just how, when and what is required to shake our facilities awake after their long, and particularly cold, winter hibernation.

We have the work schedule and we have the funds, together with the support of the ECB and the Natwest Bank, to take the pre-season preparations forward.

What we need now is Members' help by way or brain, brawn or artistry to get us off to a flying start to the season by providing their support on any or all of the dates below.

20th & 21st March 10:00am - 4:00pm
27th & 28th March 10:00am - 4:00pm

Please contact Dave Smith to confirm your availability by e-mail or on 07590 209763.

Shahin Restaurant

Special Deal for Sunbury CC Members

The Shahin Restaurant in Thames Street has been used by generations of Sunbury CC members. It opened in 1965 and was used from the very start, and has been regularly since, by both cricket and hockey club members. Amongst the early patrons in 1965 were youngsters such as Tony Schaffer and Peter Browne. The Shahin has also been a long time supporter of the Club advertising regularly in our fixture card.

As a special deal for the Club they are now offering their 5 course Banquet option to Sunbury CC Members on Monday nights for £11.95. The offer is available for you and your party on production of your fixture card. This Banquet meal comprises dishes of your choice from the menu with a starter, main course, side dish, rice or nan dish and filter coffee. This is an approximate saving of 40% on an average meal. Some duck and fish are at a small supplement as shown on their website.

For further details, including the Shahin's menu, see their website at www.shahinrestaurant.co.uk
