Hi Brian,

Due to a new recommended ‘improved’ method of binding (that has shown to be clearly inferior to our normal method) some clubs are finding the back cover falling off their books.

We apologise for this inconvenience to those affected, but the problem should be relatively simple to rectify by replacing the cover & other sheets and manually tightening the coil. Make sure it’s not over-tightened as then the pages won’t turn easily. Thankyou to those who already have been able to help clubs through this situation. We will definitely be returning to our former binding method next season.

Our apologies again.

Paul Anderson

It was a historic occassion at the recent AGM's for both the Senior and Junior Cricket Associations when it was resolved that the two associations merge. The new association will now be known as the Armidale and District Associatin Inc.. There were a number of benefits identified, during the due diligence process on the merits of merging, that will be a boost to both of the former associations. The executive and committee positions for the new Association have been filled and the details are listed in the ADCA Committee page.
