Winter 2009 edition

Jubilee Tour to Capetown 2010 In light of the current recession we find ourselves in, the commitee have come to the view that the planned tour to Australia to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Jack Frost XI, was a bridge too far.  Instead the plan is to tour to Cape Town, South Africa in March 2011 as part of our Jubilee celebrations. The tour is currently in the planning stage with our committee travel expert, Tim Martin, who is exploring the best options. A tour of 7-10 days incorporating probably three matches, golf and wine tasting is being planned.  This tour would be obviously much less expensive and less time consuming than a trip down under.  Details will be sent to members in Early 2010.  Please register your interest in touring, with our treasurer Dom Bryan by emailing him through:
Jeremy Coney to speak at 2010 Dinner The former New Zealand captain and now cricket commentator for SKY and Test Match Special, Jeremy Coney, has agreed to be our guest speajker at the Annual Dinner. Chairman David Lipop, said " I was delighted to obtain the services of one of the very best cricket speakers around today".  Following a successful venue debut last year, the Dinner will be again held at the Vistory Services Club, Seymour Street, London, W2.  Just a 5 minute walk from Marble Arch tube, the club offers us our own function room and bar.	Autumn Golf Meeting 2009 On 26th October the Autumn Golf Meeting was held at Woking Golf Club.  Another good turnout saw 24 Frosters and friends playing on a beautiful Autumn day on an excellent course with fast greens. In order to slow down the swings a hearty breakfast preceeded the tee times.  Following play a good lunch was consumed before the Lipop trophy was presented.  It was retained by the Klimcke family; this time the winner was the golf secretary Andy Klimcke with 33 points with the Chairman in the runners up slot with 32.  Thanks were expressed by the Chairman to Andy for organising another excellent golf day. Welcome In the 2009 season we welcomed two new qualifiers.  Congratulations and a big welcome to Bud Abeysekera a prolific batsman and useful bowler and Harvey Jackson - an accomplished all-rounder.  Both players demonstrated their skills on several occasions during the season. A successful season For the first time in three years the XI recorded more wins than losses with a ratio of 9 to 6 with only 3 draws.  However 10 matches had to be cancelled mainly due to the weather.
