Howzat Travel's Charity Cricket Day

Howzat Travel, proud sponsors of Egerton Park Cricket Club, would like to invite everyone - customers old and new - to our inaugural Charity Cricket Day. Join us at Egerton Park, Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire on Sunday 18th July 2010.

We will be dedicating the proceeds of the day, including the money raised by the raffle, to our chosen beneficiaries; The Lord's Taverners and Egerton Park Cricket Club.

EPCC will also be using the event to officially open its new state-of-the-art ‘ClubTurf’ artificial pitch, which was won in a one-off Wisden Cricketer magazine competition. The pitch will be officially opened by Derek Underwood MBE and Sales Director 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 Howzat Travel.

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.
