West Region Newsletter, 70, September 2017 Inspiring Scotland to Choose Cricket All Stars Cricket: A huge thank you to everyone who has helped to make All Stars Cricket possible during the inaugural year of the programme. The programme enabled 190 young people, aged between 5 and 8 years old, to participate in the sessions throughout the west region. This would not have been possible without the support of the ‘Regional Champions’, the ‘Activitors’, the parents and the other key volunteers. Our thanks go to these people and to everyone else who has helped to make the programme possible at the nine delivery centres: Clydesdale CC, Dumfries CC, East Kilbride CC, East Renfrewshire CC, Greenock CC, Hillhead CC, Renfrew CC, Uddingston CC and Vale of Leven CC.
