There is a Cricket Scotland Coaching Camp taking place in Dumfries from Monday the 7th April to Thursday 10th April for girls and boys aged between 8 and 13 years (at the David Keswick Centre). Details here:
This follows on from the successful 3-day Cricket Scotland summer camp which took place at the club last year.
Due to a horrible weather forecast for tomorrow (consistent heavy rain) the visit by Scotland player John Blain to the cricket club tomorrow for a coaching clinic has been postponed by 2 weeks. He will be down instead on Saturday the 22nd March as per the same arrangements, and he will also bring down any equipment ordered or requested then. We hope that this date does not give problems to anyone wanting to attend.
So this affects those that were to come to the coaching clinic and those that were wanting to see or buy any gear from Gilmour Sports. Read the rest of this entry »

The coaching session is supported by the Youth Sponsors at the club, Annandale Insurance and Coatbridge Coldstore Construction. Read the rest of this entry »

Iain Stewart has been appointed as the new Club Development officer in the West of Scotland. He takes over from Tony Judd who took the Cricket Scotland 3-day junior workshop at Nunholm last season. His job is to help clubs (i.e us) in the development of their junior cricket.
Iain is due to attend the next D&G junior cricket development meeting in February. So he may well be visiting the clubhouse in the near future where we will be asking him to support another 3-day workshop in the summer.
