The WDCU paid for the the top of the Meadows in Rothesay repair of the square and for it to to a new expanded square, more be operational in 2011 easily accessible and with room for further development and practice facilities. Irvine Cricket Club – about to embark on a major new multi sport “in the round” clubhouse. Kilmarnock Cricket Club – brand new ground for 2012. St. Michaels Cricket Club – completely new square, drainage upgraded, practice facilities enhanced. The new ground at Kilmarnock (Scott Ellis Playing Fields - just across the river from existing site) is well advanced, and despite the very wet autumn, Alan Simpson is confident that it will be fit for play at start of 2012. It is a 10 wicket square and the ground is of a decent size. Straight boundaries in particular are long, square of the wicket is a little shorter. The seeding of the square took well, and it has had a light roll, and a cut too. The outfield seeding has been a little more patchy, and will need a further overseed in two or three places, but no more than might be expected from a new ground. Alan Simpson, the Cricket Scotland grounds inspector, continues to monitor this and work with the contractors on this and a couple of minor snagging issues. The fence surrounding the ground is complete, minimum 8 feet high and looks quite robust. This will ensure that it is a cricket only facility. Clubrooms/dressing rooms are utilitarian but will suffice. Bellahouston Park Project Tom Halpin and myself, on behalf of the WDCU, met with representatives of Glasgow City Council, Glasgow Life, Cricket Scotland and Victoria Cricket Club on Wednesday 12th October 2011. The purpose of the meeting was to have a ground inspection of the new cricket facility being built in Bellahouston Park and its further operation thereof. It was a fruitful meeting and Victoria, and other clubs and teams can look forward to municipally provided grass pitches in 2012. This new cricket pitch is hopefully expected to be operational from early July 2012. A bespoke grass/astroturf facility for use by schools, community projects and all the various clubs in the Glasgow area. At this meeting, discussions were also held in respect of the future operations and availabilities of the municipal pitches at Glasgow Green, Springburn Park and Nether Pollok. The WDCU Executive and League Management Committees, in conjunction with Glasgow Life, will discuss various issues arising and expect to make a joint statement in the next couple of months. Barrachnie Park The restoration of Barrachnie Park, the former home of Garrowhill Cricket Club, is also ongoing, and it is hopefully expected that this "lost" ground will be available during the 2012 season. The Barrachnie Park project is an important project that will see the return of cricket to an area of Glasgow after an absence of 20 years. Both the Bellahoustoun and Barrachnie restoration projects are indicative of the desire to further cricket in the west, and I am extremely grateful of all the help, assistance and contributions that have been made by many people in getting both these two current restorations underway. If you care about something deeply and you want to preserve it for future generations to enjoy, sometimes a brutal assessment with a jaundiced overview is the ideal weapon to provoke cricketers to think not just about their own game, team or club, but every single player, team and club currently operating in the WDCU remit and their futures. WDCU Reconstruction 2010 An Update – One Year On The Western District Cricket Union The Western District Cricket Union introduced a radical overhaul of all its leagues and competitions commencing in the 2011 season. These changes were designed to assist the member clubs, whether they play aspirational or recreational cricket, in developing their players and members by providing competitive competition that is deliberately tailored to meet the needs of any respective club. In 2011, there existed the perfect opportunity for the WDCU to modernise set-up and structure in order to facilitate the strengthening and progression of WDCU clubs in their pursuit of Whole Club Development and the ultimate aim of promoting to and surviving at the highest level possible, the SNCL. The new structure provided a genuine feeder system, a compact route for all clubs to find their correct playing level and to be resilient and flexible enough to accommodate any prospective SNCL reorganisation in the future. Within the major restructuring of the Saturday League there was a requirement for a re- alignment of the WDCU Cup competitions to provide multiple competitions for all clubs at all levels and to ensure the integration of WDCU and its member SNCL clubs under the WDCU umbrella ensuring the strength of the union for years to come. The Western District Cricket Union What does your club need? •A Business Plan •A Development Plan •Funding and Investment •Infrastructure •Organisation •Commitment •Members •Resources •Finance •Facilities •Direction •Equipment •Maintenance and Machinery •Expenditure •Diversity •Coaching •Training •Risk Assessment, Child Protection and Health and Safety The WDCU, in respect of the 2010 mission statement “In 2011, there exists the perfect opportunity for the WDCU to modernise setup and structure in order to facilitate the strengthening and progression of WDCU clubs in their pursuit of Whole Club Development and the ultimate aim of promoting to and surviving at the highest level possible, the SNCL. The new structure provides a genuine feeder system, a compact route for all clubs to find their correct playing level and is resilient and flexible enough to accommodate any prospective SNCL reorganisation in the future.” embarked upon delivering its promise to its member clubs. Many areas were looked at, and given the success of “Lost Grounds” being intertwined with „WDCU Reconstruction 2010‟, players, teams and clubs have looked inwardly at what is around them and many have taken the opportunity to develop, not only their own interests, but those of others. WDCU Reconstruction 2010 has been praised as a template of “best working practice” for other leagues to copy. The WDCU Criteria and Facilities stipulations have been benchmarked as the standard for the other leagues in Scotland, as well as the national league to implement and better by 2015. The WDCU Criteria, Facilities, Funding and Assistance information disk/downloads are being used by many as helpful tools. The WDCU Player Registration system is being implemented nationally. Other leagues are copying/cloning our ideas and policies and research what the WDCU provides. The national governing body, Cricket Scotland, fully endorses what the WDCU does in its provision of cricket to its member clubs.

  • Old Mines and Mine Masters of the Monklands” British Mining No.45, NMRS, Pp.66-86
    BRITISH MINING No.45 MEMOIRS 1992 Skillen, B.S. 1992 “Old Mines and Mine Masters of the Monklands” British Mining No.45, NMRS, pp.66-86. Published by the THE NORTHERN MINE RESEARCH SOCIETY SHEFFIELD U.K. © N.M.R.S. & The Author(s) 1992. ISSN 0309-2199 BRITISH MINING No.45 OLD MINES AND MINES MASTERS OF THE MONKLANDS Brian S. Skillen SYNOPSIS The Monklands lie east of Glasgow, across economically worthwhile coal measures, which have been worked to a great extent. Additionally to coal it proved possible to work a good local ironstone. Mushet’s blackband ironstone proved the resource on which the Monklands rose to prosperity in the 19th century. A pot pourri of minerals was there to be worked and their exploitation may be traced back to the 17th century. Estate feuding provides the first clue to the early coal working of the Monklands. In 1616, Muirhead of Brydanhill was in dispute with Newlands of Kip ps. Such was the animosity of feeling, that the latter turned up at the tiny coal working at Brydanhill and together with his men smashed up Muirhead’s pit head.1 It is likely that Muirhead’s mine had answered purely local needs and certainly if mining did continue it was on this ephemeral basis, at least until the mid 18th century. The reasons are easy to find, fragile local markets that offered no encouragement to invest in mining and a lack of communications that stopped any hope of export. In any case the western markets were then answered by the many small coal pits about the Glasgow district, including satellite workings such as Barrachnie on the western extremity of Old Monkland Parish.

    BIGGAR RFC SPONSORS’ BROCHURE SEASON 2018/2019 ONE CLUB ONE FAMILY President’s Message It is again an honour for me to be writing this year’s sponsorship message as I am writing it as the championship winning president of Biggar rugby club. It was an incredible season of success throughout the club, the Under 16 boys going to the National final at Murrayfield but on the day were narrowly beaten by Stirling County but did win the West Regional cup. Our under 18 girls again achieved a Murrayfield final and again won for a fifth year. The senior season was capped by the First XV winning their league as champions, promoting the club to National 1, for this season 2019/2020. The season could hardly have got any better, it did, Biggar rugby football club were presented with “The Club of the Year Award at the annual SRU awards dinner at the Corn Exchange. What a special finish to a fantastic season! Our club has strengthened its position as a hub in our community for numerous sports clubs. We are delighted to remain hosts to Biggar United and Law AAC at Hartreemill for training and competition. We at Biggar RFC are lucky enough to have 17 squads of both male and female players ranging from the new Biggar Bairns (rugby for 3-5-year olds) to over 35s. Many businesses and individuals from the Biggar area and the extended community support our club with their sponsorship and advertising, without this support we could not offer our children, youth and senior playing squads and other sports clubs the facilities we enjoy.

  • Posted 02/05/09] Stenhousemuir Were the Visitors to the Old Ground on Saturday As the SNCL Kicked Off for - Let's Hope - the Last Time
    Week one, win one [posted 02/05/09] Stenhousemuir were the visitors to the old ground on Saturday as the SNCL kicked off for - let's hope - the last time. The 'Loc hadn't played the maroon marauders from deepest darkest Larbert since 2003 as the clubs avoided each other in different divisions, and so it wasn't surprising that, bar respective veteran ever-presents Ferrier and Gardner, and Spence and Sheridan, the players on parade had no idea what to expect from each other. Mind you, that said, the two sides' pro's were rivals back in South African domestic cricket. Brian Spence's first job was - of course - to lose the toss, or more accurately watch as his Stennie counterpart win it. Batting. Why? Probably the visitors' skipper thinking being that wet weather in the days leading up to the game must've meant there was "something" in the pitch. And of course he was right; what was in it was water. Lots of it. HoVR opened with Captain Spence, and 15 was on the 'board when the latter was cleaned up by Angus [Ed: that's his surname!]. Dan then came and went for 2 and it was 28 for 2 when Bean joined the pro'. 26 runs later and HoVR had his fourth batting partner of the day as Nichty strode out. Determined to show that his deck was perfectly playable the Big Man would go on to top score in the innings, batting with almost as many partners as HovR - his 32 added to Hancke's 31 and Maddy 's 27 late on being the three scores around which a defendable total were built.

  • Annual Report 2017
    Cricket Scotland Annual Report 2017 Chair’s Report Tony Brian Welcome to Cricket Scotland’s Annual Report for 2017 which I hope will give you a good flavour of all that has been happening in Cricket Scotland and the game in Scotland during what has been another year of good progress in delivery of our strategy. I will only mention the major issues as I see them; colleagues will give more detail in the following sections and I do not want to “steal their thunder”! On the High Performance side the men’s team had some excellent results in 2017 with the highlights being wins against Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe (the latter being the first victory by Scotland against a Full Member in an official ODI) and qualification for the World Cup Qualifier in Zimbabwe in March 2018. Disappointingly, we did not win the 50 over World Cricket League which would have meant Scotland would have entered the 13 Team ODI League from 2020-2022 with the 12 Full Member nations – something that would have given us 24 guaranteed ODIs against top quality opposition over that period with the ability to sell media and commercial rights. One of our focuses over the next round of the WCL will be to ensure we win that and thus get the right to challenge for entry into the next iteration of the 13 Team ODI league. Our women’s team has made good strides during the year, participating in the 50 over World Cup Qualifier in Sri Lanka in February where they performed well against teams which we all saw on our televisions screens during the very successful Women’s World Cup itself in England in the summer.
