2. The Adastrians Cricket Club was established in 1924 and in its heyday had many esteemed players such as Raman Subba Row (Surrey and England) and Fred Truman (Yorkshire and England). In recent years the Club has seen a diminishing playing membership which threatens its future as it becomes more and more difficult to field a competitive team throughout a full season of fixtures. The committee has therefore decided to reduce the Club’s commitment to a few prestigious occasions in the hope that it will appeal to new players and thus secure its future through the next generation of members. Whether playing in a home match in the idyllic setting of Vine Lane or away against the Royal Household in the shadow of Windsor Castle and against the Cross Arrows CC at Lords; the enclosed programme, for 2012, provides a mouth-watering prospect of quality opposition at classic cricketing venues. We are sure that the whole package will appeal to the RAF’s cricketers, both ‘new blood’ and ‘old hands’ alike. There are also opportunities for great social events including a dinner in the exclusive Long Room in the Lords Pavilion for those who show commitment to the Adastrians throughout the season. The Lords academy will be the venue for our pre-season net session and the annual dinner, open to old and new members, will be held in the impressive surroundings of the RAF Club on the edge of Green Park in central London. The Adastrians has historically presented a development opportunity for players with potential to represent the RAF in its Senior XI. We will be working closely with the RAF Eagles and Under 25’s squads in 2012 to re- establish the Adastrian CC’s place in the development of young RAF players. We will do this by ensuring a suitable standard of opposition to challenge young players and by providing player feedback to the RAFCA coaching and management organisations. The Adastrians is an all-ranks club with an enviable team ethos where, first and foremost, everyone is out to enjoy a competitive game of cricket in the right spirit of the game. When you play for the Adastrians CC you are representing the RAF in a recognised match which therefore attracts the benefits of duty travel from anywhere in the UK. If you are a serving member of the RAF, you are invited to join the Club and take part in what promises to be an exciting 2012 season of fixtures and events.
