2011 - Club News.
Nomads day at the Test match 2012 Hello all. We have chosen to go to the Headingley game vs South Africa on Sat 4th August 2012 for our International match. It is also the Nomads 30th anniversary year. Once we know numbers, we can then decide about transport & accommodation for those that wish to make a weekend of it, probably staying in Leeds. Those that prefer to just travel up for the day can do so. We have the choice of either sitting in the Western Stand (which does tend to be fairly lively) for £40 each or elsewhere in the ground for £55 each. I would like to know who wants a ticket and if they have a preference to where they sit. I need to know this by the 17th November, please, at our AGM at The Malt, Lichfield along with a £20 deposit to secure your ticket. Cheers Ian. 4th Nov 2011

Refreshments will be available on the evening. The minutes of the 2010 AGM are attached to this document and it is important that you print a copy of them and bring it along to the meeting as no copies will be provided on the night.

Nomads Captain's Curry Gents, After speaking to numerous Nomads I have decided to organise the captain's curry for the 30th September. This will be held in Lichfield instead of sunny Wednesbury.

Mick Hampton 1954-2011 Mick died in April just a few days after his fifty-seventh birthday. He had been an outstanding schoolboy sportsman, excelling at cricket and as a goalkeeper and represented Staffordshire at both. Nomads first encountered him in opposition, playing for John Taylor’s Staff XI and he was later persuaded to play for the club. He was not a typical Nomad. He drank little, smoked not at all and the strongest word he would use was “blinking”. As a batsman he was uncomplicated, the front pad (always seeming to be larger than the sightscreen) and bat thrust forward to block a couple of balls. The third ball, indistinguishable from the previous ones, would disappear over the boundary for a trademark six. As a bowler he trotted in off about four paces to deliver his thunderbolts. A batsmen who cried,” Bloody hell, I thought he was a spinner!” was not unique. Mick gave no quarter. The chin would extend forward, then “That’s how they used to bowl at me when I was his age.” There could be no argument. He was an accomplished Tourist, excelling at catching pool balls threatening his Shepherd’s pie and most useful for his uncanny ability to get an ETA almost exactly right. On one occasion a long drive to Cumbria saw Mick out by a few minutes, which brought howls of derision from the tour busload .His protestations that it was due to unknown road works cut no ice. Despite having been born in Baggie-land Mick was Wolves most loyal supporter. There is no doubt that he believed Wolves would be playing Premiership football in 2012. I believe Mick and I still hold a JTHS Staff XI record: heaviest ever partnership.

These will start on Thursday 20th January 2011 and will run every Thursday for 13 weeks until 14th April 2011. Unfortunately the times are different so we will be practising from 9.00pm until 10.00pm and we will have only one net. This is the best we could do in such short notice. May the Club offer many thanks to Peter Gardner for his stirling efforts in the task he was charged with. See you there. Regards, Mark Heslington, Club Secretary 10th Dec 2010
Friary Grange Cancellation - Indoor Nets Hi Folks, I have received a letter this evening from the Friary Grange Leisure Centre regarding the hiring of the cricket net facility. The District Council has informed them that impending works to the Sports Hall roof will commence in January and will last for about 8 - 10 weeks. As a consequence, the FGLC has taken a review and come to the conclusion that the sessions when we would have been hiring, will not be available and they do not envisage being able to provide any cricket net provision in 2011. I have informed Malcolm and when/if an alternative is found, all will be notified. See you Saturday. Mark Heslington, Club Secretary 10th Dec 2010

Captain's Curry Announcement 29th Oct 2010 You may be aware, in recent weeks, of the discussions that have taken place regarding the fall off of the “Captain’s Curry”. This was borne out of the fact that only two members attended last year and none of them was the Captain. The attendees were the Treasurer and the Secretary. This notification may be a bit formal, but it is the Club’s intention to try and regenerate interest in this social function. This year, the “Captain’s Curry” will be held at the “Lal Bag” Indian restaurant in Bird Street, Lichfield on Friday 29^th October 2010, start time 7.00pm. We are aware that some would prefer a later curry. Can members wishing to attend please let our Captain Ian Hughes know by replying to him by the AGM at the latest. This is because large numbers cannot just walk in; he needs to book a table(s) in advance. Your fullest co operation in this matter would be most appreciated. MA Heslington, Secretary. 23rd Sep 2010

Nomads lose at Blythe A stronger than normal Blythe Bridge side easily defeated a lacklustre Nomads team by more than 100 runs. Nomads spent a miserable first hour in cold, windy, drizzle watching the ball disappear to all parts of the ground, as numerous chances were put down and the Blythe openers took advantage of some poor bowling. When the two openers retired, the match became more even and wickets began to fall. Chris Collins took 4 catches and Blythe were restricted to 273, which would have been 300 plus but for the slow outfield. An exceptional tea was served up once again. Including home made Chilli, Lasagne and Sausages in Onion gravy. Nomads openers struggled against the pace of the Blyth opener and both Fearon and Heslington were bowled by good fast yorkers. The change bowlers were less daunting and Collins (C), Brannigan, Pinfield and Caygill all got going but no-one produced a substantial innings to make inroads into the Blyth total and Nomads tamely batted out the 40 overs to lose by 118 runs.
