BAD NEWS!!!
After two seasons sponsoring the BCCC our sponsor has now had to decide to no longer continue the deal with us. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Paul Phillips - travelcounsellors, for all that he has done during the past two seasons.

New Sponsors
If anyone wants to sponsor the BCCC then could they please e-mail me. They can either do the whole competition or just chose one of the levels.

BCCC V - Season 16

This season the BCCC gets underway on the 13th June (for most of the levels). For this season only we have merged the top two levels to a combined £100k wage total, and a £35k individual maximum. If this level is succesful then maybe next season we will keep it, but that remains to be seen.

Good luck to all the teams involved, and once again a big thankyou to the admins helping out.

Battrick Changes - #2 (for the non-cricketer)

Finger spin refers to the cricket technique and specific hand movements associated with imparting a particular direction of spin to the cricket ball. The other spinning technique, generally used to spin the ball in the opposite direction, is wrist spin. Although there are exceptions, finger spinners generally turn the ball less than wrist spinners, however, because the technique is simpler and easier to master, finger spinners tend to be more accurate.

Charity Appeals
FABLE (For a Better Life with Epilepsy) and Catch 22

A message from BT user Aeneas,
I'm part of a student based charitable organisation based in Sheffield called SheffieldRAG, a few years ago, some students decided to hitch hike from Sheffield to Bognor Regis, that was 7 years ago, now we have to travel slightly further afield. This years destination is Budapest, Hungary, 1,200 miles away, with a mystery half-way point which we are given on the day, to stop anyone taking a flight straight out there. We have just a week to try and get all the way.
The charities we are raising money for a FABLE (For a Better Life with Epilepsy), which helps those who suffer with Epilepsy which medication cannot control as well as their families, and Catch 22 which is a charity aimed at getting young offenders back onto the right course, so they don't re-offend, and offering them a chance at an improved life. Two very worthwhile charities.
I need to raise £200 so I can do it, we have just £15 to spend on transport, the rest we have to be given from the kindness of strangers, and nothing which is donated will go towards funding the hitch-hike. Anything you can spare will be greatly appreciated. Just go to....

London Marathon - Sponsorship Appeal

Ehrlich (who is a member of the BCCC) is running the 2010 London Marathon, and is raising funds for The Mental Health Foundation. I would like to ask as many of you as possible to please donate to this very worthwhile cause. If you can donate pleaase follow this link.

Challenges

Just a reminder - it is the responsibilty of the 1st person online on a Tuesday to set the challenge, and the 2nd person to accept it (on a Tuesday).
This then gives everyone plenty of time to set their team and to ensure that it is within the wage caps.

Battricians Cost Cutter Championship Alliance

There is an alliance at Battrick. This will enable me to send messages to a lot of our league members all at once. The downside is that you have to be a paying member of Battrick to join 'alliances', therefore I will still continue to post news here and on the friendlies sledging board.

If you are interested in joining then please contact the league administrator .
